Swansea have been going through a rough patch in recent weeks. They are currently on a six-match winless streak and did not score a single goal in their last five games.

Player to watch: Mark Harris
Mark Harris had an impressive start to his campaign. After scoring in two of three friendlies, the former Cardiff forward found the net in four consecutive league matches to start the season. However, the goals have dried up for Harris, as he has had no goal involvement in his last 10 appearances for club and country. Can the 25-year-old get back to scoring ways this weekend?
