If history was to be believed then a report by Sky Sports suggests that the Swans can expect to win 10 Premier League matches next season which would be a massive step towards the first goal of the season - the magical 40 point barrier.

Of course it is fair to say that our ambitions stretch beyond that at this point in time but Sky Sports yesterday released a list of all home games that each side currently in the 92 have played in their history.

The Swans stand in a fairly impressive 29th place in that table with 1009 home wins from the 1923 that they have played in the league. That gives them a win rate of 52.47% and nestles them between Brighton and Tranmere in the overall home league table.

They remain some way behind Liverpool (61.58%) and Manchester United (61.43%) who have both won over 1300 games at home since the Football League was founded back in 1888.

Only two non Premier League sides break into the Top 10 overall with Reading in 6th place (56.18%) and Leeds in 8th (55.04%). The lowest current Premier League club are Crystal Palace in 66th place (48.64%) and only Watford and Leicester on top of this have records below 50% of the current 20 Premier League teams.
