Swansea City and Peterborough will battle for three points in an EFL Championship fixture on Saturday.

The hosts will be looking to get back to winning ways following their 2-1 defeat away to Birmingham City last weekend.

Troy Deeney and Rily McGree both scored in the second half either side of Michael Obafemi's 77th minute goal to give the Blues all three points.

Peterborough secured a 2-1 comeback victory over QPR on home turf. All three goals also came in the second half, with Siriki Dembele's injury-time winner helping his side secure maximum points.

The victory helped the Posh steer five points clear of the relegation zone into 20th spot. Swansea City sit in 16th spot, having accrued 17 points from 14 matches.

The two sides have clashed on 45 occasions in the past and there is very little to choose between them in their head-to-head record

The visitors' recent asecent up the table was spurred by their current two-game winning streak. Swansea City have lost two of their last five matches.
