Swansea City have had a slow start to the new season and find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the table. While they will be looking to build on their win last time out, they face an in-form West Bromwich Albion side who are in the upper echelons of the table.
We predict they will set up a defensive block and force a share of the spoils.
