Expectations are high in the West Brom camp even though the swans hammered Cardiff City 3-0 on Sunday. The baggies have had five days to recover from their derby game win on Friday against Birmingham City, so the momentum is very much in their favour.

Subs: Steven Benda, Rhys Williams, Joel Latibeaudiere. Liam Walsh, Olivier Ntcham, Morgan Whittaker, Liam Cullen.
West Brom: Sam Johnstone, Darnell Furlong, Conor Townsend, Kyle Bartley, Semi Ajayi, Callum Robinson, Jake Livermore (capt), Matty Phillips, Jayson Molumby, Matty Clarke, Karlan Grant.

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
