Last week's well deserved all be it late win was a big relief. It would have been a costly and physiologically damaging 2 points to drop, which we managed to avoid thanks to some late magic from Jack Wilshere and another calm finish from our current man of the moment, goals a game Josh King. Getting that win has made the table look better. However, this in truth is the bigger home game of the two.

The thought of our defence, struggling at aerial balls at the best of times, dealing with Llorente isn't comforting. Carroll and Antonio last week makes for a good warm up, but Llorente's form is excellent. At the other end Swansea concede a lot and we're always going to create chances against anyone.

Thanks to that win last week a draw here is a reasonable result, and a score draw wouldn't surprise me.

It's a late kickoff for live TV coverage, and whilst the fixture may not be a clash of titans, it will I'm sure be an entertaining game of football.

As comfortable a home win as you can get at this level. The defence that cannot keep a clean sheet restricts swansea to one spectaculative shot from 30 yards on target. Afobe of all people scoring twice, so devoid of confidence for so long. First one was fortunate mind.

Very pleased. Another step towards comfort.

good result for Bournemouth mate, Score draw ? These useless Swansea tossers looked as if they wouldn't score in a bloody brothel. They could hardly string two passes together far less an attacking move. I may be wrong but I'm sure their total attempts on target for the entire game was ONE. Every one of their players looked as if they were still learning the basics of the game...you know, controlling the ball, passing to a team mate and NOT passing back to their own keeper from the Bournemouth half when they were two goals down. Disinterested must be the buzz word their dressing room. And as for Clement standing on the sideline with his arms folded showing no emotion whatsoever....I despair at modern football, I really do.

Yes I was very surprised, considering how well Swansea have done lately, with either how well we kept them out or how poor their creativity was. Mixture of both I guess.

It was solid. We were nowhere near our best, but without the bite of Arter I think that was a tad inevitable. However we looked comfortable and the clean sheet will do us wonders.
