Swansea City and Preston North End square off at the Swansea.com Stadium in round 43 of the EFL Championship on Wednesday.
Following their defeat at the weekend, the visitors will be looking to return to winning ways and move back into the playoffs places.
Swansea City continue to push for a top-half finish as they picked up a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield Town last Saturday.
The Swans have now gone five consecutive games without defeat, picking up an impressive 13 points from a possible 15 since March’s 2-1 loss against Millwall.
This impressive run of form has seen Swansea rise to 13th place in the EFL Championship table, having picked up 56 points from 42 games.
Elsewhere, Preston North End were pushed out of the playoffs places at the weekend as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Millwall at the Den.
The Invisibles were previously on a run of three consecutive wins, seeing off Blackpool, QPR and Reading while scoring seven goals and conceding twice in that time.
With 62 points from 42 games, Preston North End are currently eighth in the league table, level on points with seventh-placed Coventry and one point off the playoff places.
