Matt Grimes

Following Swansea City’s victory over Coventry City, we look at some of the key stats from the CBS Arena and the season so far.

3 – No Swansea player made more key passes than skipper Matt Grimes’ tally of three at the CBS Arena.

4 – Jack Rudoni’s deflected strike was just the fourth league goal Swansea have conceded in six games. That works out at just 0.67 goals per game. Only Sheffield United and West Brom have conceded fewer.

8 – Swansea City are eight points better off at this stage of the season than at the same point of the 2023-24 campaign.

9 - Gonçalo Franco made the most combined tackles and interceptions with nine in Saturday’s game. He also leads the way for the Swans squad in both categories (21 tackles, eight interceptions) over the first six games.

Liam Cullen Cele Coventry

20 – Liam Cullen’s goal was his 20th in senior league football, with 19 of those having come in Swansea colours.

44 – Swansea City’s unbeaten record against Coventry will now extend into a 44 year, with the Sky Blues last tasting victory against the Swans in 1981.

56 – Swansea City’s average possession share in Championship games this season is 56 per cent, the fourth-highest figure in the division behind only Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Leeds United.

82 – Ben Cabango completed the highest number of open play passes of any player on the pitch with 82.

371 – Matt Grimes’ importance to the Swans is underlined by the captain being the player to have received the most passes from his teammates with 371 already this season. The skipper is also already through 500 touches for the campaign, with Ben Cabango the only other player to surpass that figure.
