After failing to have an immediate positive impact at Swansea, it is not surprising that there are still doubts surrounding recently-appointed head coach Luke Williams. Prior to their recent 2-1 victory at Sunderland, Swansea had suffered five defeats in six games, putting them in a precarious position in the relegation battle. Moving up to 16th place is a step in the right direction for Williams and his team, but they still have a long way to go with only eight points separating 15th and 23rd place. Improving their performance at the Swansea.com Stadium is crucial, as they have only managed four wins in 17 league games this season and have suffered four consecutive defeats since January 20th.
Swansea City Predicted Lineup
Rushworth; Naughton, Cabango, Wood, Tymon; Allen, Grimes; Ronald, Paterson, Placheta; Cullen
Blackburn Rovers form
John Eustace has made a positive impact at Blackburn since taking over from Jon Dahl Tomasson, but the team has yet to secure a win in the Championship, with their last three matches ending in draws. Blackburn is currently in a battle for survival in the second tier, having only won one game out of their last 13. Their last away win was on November 25. Despite an impressive performance in the FA Cup fifth round against Newcastle United, Blackburn ultimately lost on penalties and missed out on a quarter-final match against Manchester City.
Blackburn Rovers Predicted Lineup
Pears; Hyam, McFadzean, Wharton; Brittain, Buckley, Tronstad, Pickering; Dolan, Gallagher; Szmodics
