West Bromwich Albion will not be too disheartened with their 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers who sit so many places above them in the table.  They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

Manager Carlos Corberán will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.

It's fair to say Swansea City will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Birmingham City, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.  They came away from that fixture with a 59% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Birmingham City, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.  

Their boss Michael Duff has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.  

Joël Piroe will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against West Bromwich Albion in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Swansea City.
