Player to watch – Fally Mayulu (Bristol City)
Although we think that Swansea will edge Bristol City at home, the man to watch is Fally Mayulu, in our opinion. He is averaging more than 1.00 goals per 90 minutes at the moment, and he’s shown how important he can be in the final third.
Be sure to keep an eye on this guy as he attempts to reverse Bristol City’s fortunes on Sunday!
