Di Matteo brings his promotion chasing West Brom side to Swansea looking to avoid a league double for the Swans after Craig Beattie's goal gave us a 1-0 win at the Hawthorns earlier this season.<\/p>\n
The Baggies manager though knows it will be a tough test for his side – the Swans have been breached just 9 times at home this season<\/p>\n
“For me they are a very defensive team." he told the Express and Star<\/p>\n
"They are more concerned about not conceding a goal than they are about scoring a goal. It’s going to make it very hard for us because they don’t concede many goals.<\/p>\n
“Even at home they are not very adventurous. They are very defensive and they don’t score many goals and don’t concede many goals.<\/p>\n
“We will have to be focussed and will have to be very sharp and have a look at those players that they have in the team who can be dangerous.<\/p>\n
“But we have our own philosophies and we will try to impose ourselves.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
