The EA SPORTS Player Performance Index can reveal that Guzan has already racked up 87 saves so far this season, at an average of 2.29 saves per goal conceded. He is looking for back-to-back clean sheets, and will hope that will be enough for deliver all three points for the home side.

At the back, Alan Hutton is available again for selection, but will Sherwood drop Leandro Bacuna who has impressed since Hutton’s been suspended?

The EA SPORTS player Performance Index can reveal that Hutton has won 45 tackles so far this year, 78.9% of his overall tally, also making 90 clearances, 32 interceptions and 15 blocks. He will need to be in top form and adding to those statistics to help keep Swansea at bay.

Swansea have suffered back to back defeats to high-flying Liverpool and Tottenham but will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways this weekend.

The league’s only Welsh side will be hoping that a win will see them leap frog Stoke above them to help them re-gain eighth spot, with a potential late bid for European football next season in the offing.

The Swans will be hoping that their keeper Lukasz Fabianski can deliver a first class performance this weekend to help keep Villa at bay.
