West Brom begin the new year with a trip to South Wales on Monday to face Swansea at the Swansea.com Stadium in the Championship, with the two sides searching for consistency.
The Swans will be eager to use their home advantage to secure a vital result, while the visitors aim to reignite their promotion aspirations with a strong performance on the road.
Recent form has been a challenge for both clubs as they navigate a demanding schedule. Swansea were able to pick themselves up, with a 1-0 victory over Oxford United after a narrow 1-0 defeat away at Coventry on Boxing Day.
On the other hand, the Baggies have experienced difficulty in getting their performance on point in recent weeks. They have managed only two wins and have lost three in their last five games.
Following back-to-back losses, they returned to winning ways following a 2-1 win over QPR last weekend, with the result ending their poor run in the league.

West Brom preview: Player suspended from the team
Campbell continues to solidify his position at right-back, while Alfie Gilchrist is sidelined, serving a three-game suspension following a red card received against Hull on December 20. Tammer Bany remains unavailable due to a muscular problem.
Midfield options could be boosted, with Alex Mowatt and Jayson Molumby both recently returning from injury and potentially lining up together on New Year’s Day.

Player to watch: Zan Vipotnik
Zan Vipotnik remains Swansea’s key attacking outlet and comes into this fixture as the club’s leading goal scorer. With ten goals and one assist to his name this season, the striker has been central to most of the Swans’ positive moments going forward.
His movement, work rate and ability to unsettle defenders make him the most likely source of a breakthrough, and much of Swansea’s attacking play is shaped around his presence. Should the hosts hope to secure all three points, they will once again be relying heavily on Vipotnik to deliver a decisive performance.
