Swansea preview: Searching for consistency
With three wins and losses each, along with a couple of draws, Swansea have been the picture perfect of inconsistency. That being said, 11 points from eight games isn't too shabby either, especially for a team that isn't among the main candidates for promotion.
When it comes to team news, Andrew Fisher, Liam Cullen, and Josh Ginnelly are struggling with injuries at this time.
Predicted lineup: Vigouroux (GK), Key, Cabango, Darling, Tymon, Franco, Grimes, Ronald, Cooper, Eom & Cullen

After three losses in a row, Stoke have ended this poor streak with an emphatic 6-1 win over Portsmouth a few days ago. This was their third win of the season in the Championship in eight games, while they've lost all remaining matches, which puts Stoke in the lower half of the standings at this time.
Meanwhile, Bosun Lawal, Lynden Gooch, Ben Pearson, and Million Manhoef are on Stoke's injury list ahead of this game.
