Swansea City will host Burnley at the Swansea.com Stadium on Monday (January 2) in Championship.
The hosts have endured a difficult run of form recently, rapidly falling behind in the race for promotion. Swansea, however, returned to winning ways last time out with an emphatic 4-0 win over Watford. Three players got on the scoresheet, including team top scorer Joel Piroe who netted twice to take his league tally up to eight.
Burnley, meanwhile, have enjoyed a stellar season and will fancy themselves as promotion favourites with half the campaign now gone. They picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Stoke City in their last game. Josh Cullen scored the sole goal of the game just after the hour mark to record his first strike for the Clarets.
The visitors sit atop the league table with 53 points from 25 games.
