Swansea City will host Coventry City at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have had a mixed start to their season playing out a 1-1 draw against Birmingham City before beating Northampton Town 3-0 in the Carabao Cup days later. They were beaten 3-2 by West Bromwich Albion in their last league outing, finding themselves three goals down before goals from Harry Darling and Nathan Wood helped reduce the deficit.
Swansea have picked up just one point from an obtainable six this season and will be targeting maximum points this time around.
Coventry, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City in their league opener before suffering a shock 2-1 defeat to Wimbledon in the EFL Cup. They returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough featuring goals from Matt Godden and Haji Wright alongside a late own goal from the Boro.
The visitors sit 11th in the Championship standings with three points from two games and will be looking to add to that tally come Saturday.
