Ore team news below.
That aside there’s no good guessing tonight’s team or news but of course there are guarantees. No doubt the return of Josh Tymon and Ben Cabango (if cleared from a knock which kept him out of the recent Wales games) are expected. And key players such as Ethan Galbraith and Marko Stamenic should feature. We are seeing a relaxed Vitor Matos over the past twenty four hours, especially on the training pitch and the more basic training drills and warm ups continue today, It has all fallen into place for the Swans due to the hard work of Chairman, Tom Gorringe and recruitment specialist, Adam Worth and if course key staff within the club.
It’s been a succesful recruitment for sure, what we want to see quickly is a more effective Swansea City able to turn quick possession into goals. An immediate revival shouldn’t be expected but a difference between Saturdays performance away at Bristol City and tonight is important.
Read our recent reports and information on this transformation from Alan Sheehan to Vitor Matos below.

Ipswich Town v Swansea City : Swans with decisions to make Swansea City visit Ipswich Town on Saturday with the majority of people already putting this clash down as a home win. That may well be the case but the Swans are not exactly playing badly with their last two away games resulting in a win and a loss.
Cullen saves the Swans in a world class moment The Swans most certainly flattered to deceive last night at the Swansea.com. In a game where all the focus was on investor Snoop Dogg the pre match build up made the game itself feel secondary. After all the glitz and the glamour that turned out to be the highlight of the night - there was little of that on the pitch.
TEAM NEWS : Swansea City v Preston North EndTonight we see the Swans take on Preston North End which again is a form of six pointer with the Lillywhites three points ahead of Swansea. Win and the hosts move onto forty eight points, level with the visitors. Lose and it’s a six point gap.
Snoop Dogg brings worldwide glamour to Swansea City v Preston North End Swansea City take on Preston North End this evening at the Swansea.com in front of a sold out home crowd. It could well be the Swans see their second twenty thousand plus attendance of the season In a cleverly promoted fixture which will include one of Swansea City’s investors, Snoop Dogg.
Swansea City 1 Bristol City 0 : Swans under par but they still take the points !Swansea City most certainly were not at their best for this early afternoon kick off but they still managed to take all three points today. Despite an exceptionally poor completed passes stat (63%) which tells you some of the story, they had courage and endeavour which we wouldn’t have seen before Vitor Matos took over as head coach at the Swans.
Swansea City v Bristol City : Match day morning & team news Swansea City now know if they take the points today they will most certainly be three points outside of the play offs (for a bit anyway) after Blackburn Rovers last ditch goal to defeat Preston last night. Tuesdays visitors Preston North End lost 1-0, so they will be looking to put that right on Tuesday in front of a completely sold out crowd.
