Preview | Queens Park Rangers v Swansea City

Swansea City look to further extend their five-match unbeaten sequence when they face Queens Park Rangers at MATRADE Loftus Road this afternoon (3pm).

The Swans have won their last four games in a row without conceding a goal; doing so for the first time since March 2008.

QPR, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last four games, winning two of them, having previously gone through a seven-match winless run.

Team news

Swansea will wait to see if Hannes Delcroix is available after the Belgian missed the last two games with an adductor problem.

They are otherwise likely to have the same group of players to choose from as for Friday's win over Hull.

Pre-match views

Alan Sheehan: “It’s a quick turnaround, but obviously the aim is to make sure we try and keep this good run going.

“We have had the weekend to debrief the Hull game and consider what we did well and what we can improve on and get better at.

“We understand that it is a hectic period, but you have to be able to separate these games into individual tasks.

“So we have to close the tab on the Hull game. We certainly want to appreciate the wins and the effort the players have put in to this run.

“We also appreciate the feeling around the place at the moment, it’s a wonderful feeling so let’s try and make sure we have more of it.”

Marti Cifuentes: “We are safe and we have achieved the first target as a club. The next target, as I've been saying this season, is to make sure that we at least achieve the 56 points that we achieved last season. So we've got three games to try to get there.

“I’m a competitive person. The guys are competitive. We will not just relax and now in the next games accept average performances. 

“We want to keep pushing and finish the season in a good way.”

Remember the last time?

Swansea City were denied their first Championship victory of the season as Lyndon Dykes' stoppage-time header cancelled out Josh Ginnelly’s early goal against Queens Park Rangers on their last visit to Loftus Road.

Ginnelly had been credited with the opener after a punch from Asmir Begovic cannoned off him and into the net in just the seventh minute.

Jamal Lowe and Jerry Yates had chances to extend Swansea’s lead, but the visitors looked to be on course for the three points and a clean sheet until Dykes' steered a header beyond the grasp of Carl Rushworth in the Swansea goal in the dying moments.
