Ahead of Wednesday night's fixture, Swansea City manager, Micheal Laudrup, has spoken of the importance of the next two home games against Newcastle United and Hull City:
"We have two home games in a row, and we hope we can get some points here. In our previous two consecutive home games, against Sunderland and West Ham, we managed to win four points. It would be nice to get at least four points from the next two games as well, to go up from 15 points to 19."
Laudrup also spoke highly of his side's opponents tomorrow night, praising Yohan Cabaye in particular, as a player of real quality:
"Tomorrow we will be a team who are in very good form... I'm not surprised by their results. If you look at there squad, you will see that they have a very good team."
"They have a good goalkeeper, a solid defence and a very good midfield which includes Yohan Cabaye, who is a player I really like. They also have a lot of pace in their forward line."
