Premier League preview and odds: Swansea City vs Southampton
February 13, 2016 15:00pm - Liberty Stadium
Premier League
Two teams enjoying unbeaten runs in the Premier League will go head-to-head on Saturday when Swansea City welcome Southampton to the Liberty Stadium.
Swans on track for survival
Swansea have lost just two of their last nine Premier League games and are currently unbeaten in four. As a result, Francesco Guidolin`s men look in good shape heading into the final dozen games of the season. They currently sit in 16th place, four points clear of the first relegation position.
In their last game they held Crystal Palace to a 1-1 draw and they achieved the same result against West Bromwich Albion in their previous fixture.
Saints on the rise again
Are an unbeaten run of five games including four wins and a draw, Southampton have climbed back up to seventh place in the Premier League table. The Saints had previously gone on a dismal run of eight games in which they lost six, drew one and won just one.
Ronald Koeman`s men come into this match on the back of an impressive 1-0 win at home to West Ham United. However, they have only won one of their last six games away from home.
Team news
The home side will be without the injured Sung-Yeung Ki.
Meanwhile, the visitors are still without the injured duo of Matt Target and Florin Grados, while Jay Rodriguez could be in line for a return after a three-and-a-half month absence.
