Swansea City host Coventry City at the Liberty Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to build on their latest win.

The Swans overcame West Brom 2-0 at the Hawthorns, courtesy of late goals from Joel Piroe and Cyrus Christie.

It was their third win from their last five league games and they remain in 16th place with 41 points, ten points behind Coventry.

The Sky Blues are currently on a three-game unbeaten run since a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Cardiff City in mid-February.

They're in 10th place right now and will be pushing to move further up the charts, although they haven't won away to the Swans since a 2-1 win in January 1950.
