Swans Have West Brom In Sights
Kris O'Leary says his Swansea side will be going all out to beat West Brom in his testimonial match on Saturday
O'Leary gets the reward for 13 years service tomorrow when newly promoted Premiership side West Brom arrive at the Liberty wanting a tough test from the Swans in the process.
The match up between the reigning Championship and League One winners promises to be an intriguing one and a pretty good indication it is felt of Roberto's starting line up at Charlton next weekend.
And whilst testimonial matches have sometimes been light hearted affairs, O'Leary says that tomorrow will be different with both sides out to win the game as he told BBC Sport ""We are a week away from the season, so there will be no messing about
"West Brom were concerned that it was a testimonial but Roberto Martinez has said it will be a proper game.
"I hope it's going to be a great day for everyone, especially my family. It will be a proud day for them.
"Because they have stuck by me through the good times and the bad times.
"I hope some of the fans turn up and enjoy watching some of the new players.''
