Swansea City take on winless in fourteen Peterborough United at their extremely waterlogged ground tonight bidding to return to winning ways after two defeats out of their last two games.

Russell Martin is unlikely to make wholesale changes to the line up, although Hannes Wolf may return to the starting eleven. Ryan Manning will again be out due to his four match suspension.

โ€œThey are very much possession-based and they can be very hard to play against as they rotate players all the time.

โ€œItโ€™s not unusual for their centre-half to turn up at centre forward!

โ€œWe will have to be disciplined in terms of shape and structure. We will have to concentrate and our communication must be good from number one to number 11. But we also have to make sure we carry a threat.”

Swans assistant Matt Gill

“I think we all recognise we need to be a little bit more proactive in the final third.

โ€œWe probably arrive in the final third more in more control and in good team structure than anyone in the league.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s about control for us. We want to control as much of the game as we can. Itโ€™s a very random game so the more you control it the better.”

Swansea City 0-1 Millwall – your player ratings

The season ended with a pathetic whimper as Swansea City huffed and puffed with little to show from plenty of possession against a dogged Millwall team. Matt Grimes missed a second half penalty in the sunshine before Ronald’s mistake set up a Millwall winner that the Swans never looked like…
