PRE-MATCH VIEWS
Swansea City Women’s interim head coach Chris Church: “Barry have shown that they are not to be underestimated, we’ve got to be wary, especially going away from home.
“We’ve got to go there and play the quality of football that we know we can, there is a buzz in the changing room at the minute with the form that we are in.
“The players have been working hard week in week out and they’ve been getting the rewards for that, we just need to keep that going.
“We want to end the year strongly, we’ve lost one game in our last eight, so we want to be poised and ready after the break to make sure we are ready for a fight.”
