Pre-match views
Jamie Sherwood, Swansea City Women first-team manager:
“We look forward to every game no matter who we are playing or where we are playing, but to be playing at the home of football in south Wales is a great experience for us.
“However, the experience will only be great if we achieve the objective of getting three points again.
"We've got to be prepared for a tough game, it's our home and I would like to think that no one comes into our home and takes anything from us.
"The first half against Cardiff Met last week optimised the identity that we want to consistently show, we didn't show it across a 90-minute period and that is the challenge now.
"Barry have done really well with their recruitment this summer, they had a strong unit last year and they've added to that."
