They want to dominate the ball and have total control of the game. They will be bold and play out from the back. The defense takes risks, and can be costly, but when it works it can be brilliant and create wonderful chances and goals.

"I've felt at home from day one and it's amazing when you play in a place where the fans like you and the coach likes you. I think the players have taken a liking to me as well."

George Friend continues to rehab following surgery and Troy Deeney works on the turf with the Club's medical staff. Teden Mengi is scheduled for a six-week absence, while Kristian Pedersen serves a one-game suspension. Connal Trueman is absent due to a thumb injury.

Swansea City suffered frustration in their first home game of the 2020-21 season as a stubborn Birmingham City side held them to a goalless draw.
The hosts dominated possession and territory for long periods, but found it difficult to break down Aitor Karanka's Blues.

Scott Hogan, who hails from the Republic of Ireland, is Birmingham's top scorer this season, with twenty-four starts he has scored ten goals and one assist, his experience makes him a dangerous player and that is why the opposing defense will have to be on their toes.

Joel Piroe, a 22-year-old Dutch center forward, has become the team's top scorer this season with thirty starts and has scored on fifteen occasions, making him a very dangerous player in the box, so his opponent will have to keep a close eye on him.

Birmingham City has been the last seasons occupying the low positions of the Championship, far away was the 2010-11 season where they played for the last time the Premier League, now they have been dragging many years of bad seasons where they have not even fought for promotion, currently the season is very similar to the previous ones and occupies the twentieth position with just ten wins in thirty-eight rounds, despite not being a great season the team is not in danger of relegation at the moment, although they have just one win in their last five games, in order not to get into relegation problems however far away they may seem, they need to get victories as soon as possible and against Swansea they have a good opportunity.

Swansea City is a peculiar team from Wales that is not having the best of their campaigns in the EFL Championship, with 47 points they are thirty points behind the leader Fulham, this great distance in points is due to their 13 wins, 8 draws and 15 defeats, we know that this competition could well be the first division of the country, however the number of teams makes the gap is very large between teams, although Swansea is far away from the first places, relegation is not something that worries them since they are 19 points away from the last relegation place, now the only thing left is to continue adding victories to get in a better position, the team is irregular since they have three wins and two defeats in the last five games, against Birmingham City they have the opportunity to add another victory and close the season in a better way.

The EFL Championship is reaching its final stage, that is why teams are looking to get as many points as possible to climb positions, avoid relegation or even promotion, this time we will see Swansea City vs Birmingham City, both teams are in the lower middle of the table, although promotion is very distant for these teams and relegation is not something they are fully involved, this game will be for not lowering positions.
