Swansea City will host West Bromwich Albion at the Swansea.com Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in recent weeks and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the pile. They played out a 2-2 draw against Coventry City last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a narrow defeat before Liam Cullen came off the bench to score a brilliant free-kick and clinch a point for the Swans.
Swansea City sit 17th in the table with 29 points picked up so far and will be desperate to start 2024 on a high.
