A 1-1 draw in their last match against Stoke City meant Swansea City had to settle for a share of the points.  They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Stoke City's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

There will be mixed feelings from The Swans, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.

The 2-1 home defeat to Hull City will not have sat easily with the Middlesbrough squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  In that game they had 54% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Hull City who had 8 attempts and 4 on target.  

Michael Carrick will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, this season they have scored in 9 of their 10 games on the road.  

They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.  

Emmanuel Latte Lath will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Middlesbrough.
