Swansea City take on relegation bound Derby County at the Swansea.com Stadium this afternoon looking to stretch their unbeaten run to five games and make it three wins on the bounce.
The Swans will likely be without midfielder Flynn Downes again so Jay Fulton could stay in the starting eleven, or perhaps it could see Joel Latibeaudiere drop out to allow Hannes Wolf to return to left wing back with Jamie Paterson coming back in.

Swans assistant Matt Gill
“There’s seven games left. We want to finish as high up as possible in the table.
“We know we need to be right at it because of what is at stake for Derby. It’s certainly down to us.
“We’re really keen on putting this third game in a week to bed. It’s a real focus for us to perform in a Championship week.
“We’re looking to finish off the week really well. It’s a really important game to us as well, and we recognise what’s on it for Derby.”
Derby boss Wayne Rooney
”I think we know what we have to do, and we’ve known what we have to do for some time, with six games left.
“All we have to do is focus on the next game, which is a tough one against Swansea on Saturday, and that’s what we’ll do.
“We’ll keep focusing on that, try to pick up three points and we know it’s going to be a challenge.”
