Swansea vs Tottenham Prediction and Preview – 04/10/15
Premier League preview – Swansea vs Tottenham prediction
Swansea boss Garry Monk has the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from, with no suspensions. Therefore, it’s unlikely there will be many changes from the team which has been playing in recent weeks, despite the results.
Mauricio Pochettino on the other hand, has a number of injury concerns ahead of the trip to Wales. Heung-min Son, Nabil Bentaleb, Mousa Dembele and Ryan Mason are all out. With Son unavailable, Nacer Chadli is likely to join Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen in support of Harry Kane.
Possible Line-ups
Swansea: 4-2-3-1 formation: Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor; Cork, Shelvey; Montero, Sigurdsson, Ayew; Gomis
Tottenham: 4-2-3-1 formation: Lloris; Walker, Alderwiereld, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Alli; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Kane

Prediction
Swansea are looking to end a run of 4 competitive matches without a win, with 3 defeats coming as part of their poor run of form. A season which started very promisingly for the Welsh club, including a draw at Chelsea and win over Manchester United, has taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks. Alarmingly for Garry Monk, his team has only managed to score 1 goal in their last 4 games and this will need to change, if they are to get back to winning ways.
Tottenham had no trouble finding the back of the net in their last Premier League match as they dispatched Manchester City 4-1 at White Hart Lane. This was Tottenham’s third Premier League win in a row and they have conceded just 2 goals in their last 4 league games. With Arsenal and Manchester United playing each other this week, it could be an opportunity for Tottenham to get in to the top four.
Tottenham are definitely the form team here and have defeated Swansea in each of their last 6 meetings. Despite the injuries, Tottenham have to be the favourites to go home with the points.
