John Sheridan – manager of Oldham – is confident that his side will secure the result they need on Saturday to ensure their progress into the end of season play offs and send the Swans off on their summer holidays early.

Sheridan’s side hold the aces with the better goal difference and potentially the easier fixture on Saturday and he believes that they have enough in the tank to get the result that they need denying Swansea at the last post in the process.

"We should be going out to play against Chesterfield with a real buzz around the team," said the Oldham boss.

"They beat us down at their place and were one of the best sides we’ve played this season, but I’m very confident we can get the right result. "It was a big one against Brighton and it’ll be even bigger next Saturday, so I’m sure the lads will be champing at the bit. "What more could they want than a chance to get into the play-offs and win promotion at Wembley? I wish I could be out there myself."

Blackpool manager Simon Grayson has also promised that his side will arrive at the Liberty Stadium and give it the best go possible to sneak into the top two even though they are fully dependent on both Bristol City and Nottingham Forest failing to win their games.

"We will go to Swansea and give it a right good go," said boss Simon Grayson. "It should be a cracking game because Swansea obviously need a result to get into the play-offs and we need the points, so we’re thoroughly looking forward to it. "Anything can happen. Strange results always happen in all the divisions on the last day. All we have to do is try to beat Swansea and if Bristol City and Forest lose, we’ve suddenly come from nowhere to win promotion. "It’s unlikely but why not? You never know."
