Swansea City host Sunderland at the Liberty Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to extend their winning run to four games.
The Swans are flying high at the moment after a hat-trick of wins in their last three games, having won only twice in their previous nine.
After making light work of Hull City in a 3-0 drubbing, the Welsh outfit left it late against West Brom and Watford to win 3-2 and 2-1 respectively.
With 18 points from 12 games, Swansea are now in sixth place and back in contention for the promotion playoff spots.
Sunderland, meanwhile, are coming off the back of three consecutive draws since beating Reading 3-0 last month.
This has seen them slip out of the promotion spots down to eighth place with 17 points from 12, and will be desperate to get their campaign back on track.
