Swansea City continue their battle against relegation from the Premier League. They start the weekend one place above the bottom three but with a four point lead over Southampton. Their goal difference took a bit of a bashing at Manchester City last weekend and is now worse than that of the Saints and they won't want another heavy defeat at home to Chelsea.  Staying up is in their own hands as their last two games are both at home and against Southampton and 19th placed Stoke City, amazing how the fixture computer works sometimes. Swansea have only earned three draws in their last five league matches and need to conjour a win from somewhere to ensure survival and the possibility of a big Welsh derby against Cardiff next season. Home form has seen them win four of their last five games and just as it often does, it's their home results that will save them.

They won't find it easy against Chelsea though who still have an outside chance of a top-four finish. They are five points behind Tottenham with four games to go but have an inferior goal difference. Last weekend they beat Southampton to reach the FA Cup final and that was their third straight win in all competitions. Chelsea have won their last two away league games and that follows a run of three straight losses. They aren't firing on all cyliinders but are getting there and can get a win here to  close the gap on Tottenham, who don't play until Monday, to just two points.
