Preview | Burnley v Swansea City

Swansea City will be looking to round off this section of the Championship season with three wins from three when they face Burnley at Turf Moor (3pm).

The Swans head to Lancashire on the back of wins against Oxford United and Watford which had seen them climb into the top 10 in the table ahead of this weekend's round of fixtures.

Burnley entered the weekend fourth in the table but were without a win in four following their draw at West Bromwich Albion.

Team news

Josh Tymon is back from suspension for the Swans after missing the midweek meeting with Watford.

Swans boss Luke Williams is set to otherwise have an unchanged squad to choose from.

Ollie Cooper, Jisung Eom, Jay Fulton, Sam Parker, Andy Fisher and Josh Ginnelly are all sidelined for the Swans.

Pre-match views

Luke Williams: "It's as big a test as they get. It’s going to be a very tough place to play football and establish ourselves. 

"They are a team with a lot of quality and a manager with a lot of experience.

"We know it’s going to be a really tough game but we’re preparing for that now and we’re looking forward to it.

"We have shown that we can compete with the top sides in the division. We have to make sure we do a better job at competing with the teams in and around us, and when we take on the top teams we can be a little more free. 

"This is certainly going to be a huge test."

Scott Parker: “In terms of the intent in which we attacked (against West Brom), there was massive improvement from where we’ve been and defensively we were very solid again. It’s another clean sheet for us.

“I’m really encouraged from the performance, the reaction and these boys have been incredible and we keep pushing on.

“Overall, I’m really pleased with the team in terms of our general performance and we move on to Swansea now.”

Remember the last time?

Ten-man Swansea City saw their winning run come to end following a 4-0 defeat against Burnley on their last visit to Turf Moor in 2022.

Despite a positive start from Russell Martin's side, the hosts roared into a three-goal lead in the first half thanks to goals from Vitinho, Jay Rodriguez and Anass Zaroury.

The Swans made a strong start to the second half - which included chances for Michael Obafemi and Ben Cabango - but Burnley extended their lead as Rodriguez grabbed his second of the afternoon.

The visitors' afternoon was compounded when Joel Piroe was shown a red card with 15 minutes to go following an altercation with Josh Cullen.
