It is probably with some surprise that viewing figures in the USA showed the Swans as the 4th most watched Premier League team out there ahead of Premier League 'giants' in Arsenal and Manchester City.

Figures shown today on Twitter by Jake Cohen, a journalist in Boston showed that not only were the Swans fourth in the table but the South Wales derby - Garry Monk's first game in charge of Swansea - was the 6th highest viewing figures of the Premier League in the past few years

Cohen believes that some of the popularity is down to Swansea getting 'free to air' games as opposed to those on subscription but nonetheless it makes for interesting reading when you consider the five teams around us that make up the Top 6
