Swansea City v Coventry City – Confirmed team news

1 min read

The Swans return to the Swansea.com Stadium in search for back to back wins and a double over Coventry City.

Russell Martin’s men sealed an impressive 2-0 win on Monday at much fancied West Brom and will look to make it a repeat result after the away win at Coventry earlier this season.

Joel Piroe and Jamie Paterson both scored in the reverse fixture and will look to do the same today in what is expected to be an unchanged line up.

The subs bench might be interesting with Cameron Congreve anticipated to be included – the Academy product is an attacking midfielder.

Swansea boss Russell Martin:

โ€œI thought it was a really top performance last time up there, we know Coventry are a very good team.

โ€œI like and respect what theyโ€™ve done over time, what Mark and his staff have done.

โ€œTheyโ€™ve shown how important it is to have a philosophy and to have time to implement it.”

Coventry boss Mark Robins:

โ€œTheyโ€™re a good team and they do hurt you if you get things wrong majorly and weโ€™ve got the understanding of what they do from the game at the Arena earlier on in the season.

โ€œWe didnโ€™t start the game particularly well, but it was a decent performance but ultimately we were 2-0 down before we knew it and then Kyle McFadzean scoring from a set play in the second-half was the only thing that we got to show for it.

โ€œTheyโ€™ve got some young players and some with experience, like most teams in the division, and theyโ€™re a difficult side to play against.

โ€œIโ€™ve said before Russell, in both jobs heโ€™s had, likes to keep the ball and thatโ€™s not going to be any different I donโ€™t suppose, so we have to implement a game plan to disrupt that and that causes problems of our own.”
