Swansea City went into Saturday’s fixture at Blackburn Rovers after three wins in seven league outings.

However, suffering a late 1-0 defeat at Ewood Park has put a negative spin on their form, Swansea now having lost three of their most recent four outings.

While the Welsh outfit can claim to still be active in the race for the playoffs, they have not posted back-to-back victories since October.

Their current form is enough to avoid embroiling in any relegation battle, but it will ultimately leave Swansea falling short of their pre-season target.

Alex Neil is confident his side will defeat Blackpool on Saturday, having accumulated seven points from a possible 12.

However, they have lost momentum with a 1-0 defeat against opponents who had been unsuccessful in the second tier since the end of October, a period spanning 14 games.

Despite having an FA Cup fifth-round tie with Brighton & Hove Albion on their calendar, Stoke is on the cusp of needing to fight for their status in the Championship.

Swansea City vs. Stoke City Head to head

Both sides have 23 games against each other with hosts taking seven wins while visitors with twelve wins, and four draws.

Martin will almost certainly name a more attack-minded Swansea side to face Blackburn Rovers. Oliver Cooper, Morgan Whittaker, and Liam Cullen are all in contention to feature in a role behind Joel Piroe. Matthew Sorinola could also be restored at wing-back, with Joel Latibeaudiere and Luke Cundle among those who could miss out.

Stoke City Team News

Neil will also alter his Stoke XI, particularly in midfield and attack. He may recall Lewis Baker as bringing more creativity. Still, doubts remain over whether Axel Tuanzebe, Ben Pearson, and Bersant Celina will return to contention after missing the trip to Blackpool.
