Francesco Guidolin will not be at Saturday's game as Swansea City's head coach continues to recuperate from a chest infection in hospital. Ki Sung-yueng and Leroy Fer should be available despite being substituted with injuries against Arsenal.
Possible Team???
Possible Bench (7 from 10?)
Nordfeldt, Fernandez, Rangel, Kingsley, Fulton, Ki, Gomis, Barrow, Montero, Britton/Fer
Norwich midfielder Alex Tettey needs an ankle operation and could miss the rest of the season. Robbie Brady and Gary O'Neil should be available despite clashing heads in midweek, while Steven Naismith returns. Sebastien Bassong and Patrick Bamford are also available.
Match Referee
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Mark Scott: "Francesco Guidolin had one eye on Norwich's visit to South Wales when he named a much-changed team in midweek, so to win at Arsenal was all the more of a boost. "Guidolin missed the Arsenal game because of illness and it seems unlikely he will be back in the dugout on Saturday. If he is absent again, the side will be in safe hands, with Alan Curtis' shuffling of formation in midweek coming up trumps.
Norwich City manager Alex Neil: "I am a big believer in that you make your own luck. We are in this position because we have not won enough games, it is as simple as that. "In recent weeks we have been performing well, and if you keep doing that and making chances, then the results should follow. "The one strength we have as a club is that everybody is stuck together and is fighting really hard - you see no dissent, the lads are fighting for the cause and there are no issues within the squad whatsoever?
MATCH FACTS - Swansea City
* Swansea's win over Arsenal on Wednesday was their first in five matches (D2, L2).
* They have only won two of their last 12 home league games (D5, L5).
* A Premier League-low 25.7% of their passes have been in the final third this season.
* Bafetimbi Gomis scored in his first four Premier League games this season but has only netted once in his last 21 league games.
Norwich City
* Norwich are winless in eight games, losing seven of them.
* They have not won an away league game since 19 December at Manchester United.
* Norwich's three clean sheets this season is the joint fewest in the Premier League, along with Sunderland.
* Wes Hoolahan has recorded his best Premier League season for assists, with eight.

Come on, let's be honest, although we all wish him a speedy recovery and discharge from hospital, we're all glad Curt will be in charge tomorrow. | | | |

Hope he has a speedy recovery. Must be difficult for him while the show is still going on without him. |  | | |

But if they lose its still somehow going to be Guidolins fault. Seriously does anyone have a concept of a team of people working together to achieve a common goal. Bunch of old fking cockle women. |  |

We need to take charge of this game from the start and should any feck ups
occur, make the necessary changes quickly to get us back into the game.
Think it's going to be physical and dirty game!
1-0 will do though! | |

Then we will need a decent un biased Ref.
What do you think are the chances of that happening? |  | | |

Very interesting to consider how we go about this.
From a different perspective reminds me of the Gerrard slip game versus Chelsea that cost Liverpool the title.
Liverpool didn't need to win, Chelsea did. Liverpool were full of emotion, confidence etc etc. Rather than playing a game of chess, Liverpool went at it and the rest is history.
The win against Arsenal has taken the pressure off us a bit. Norwich on the other hand have got to go for it. Do to them what they did to us at Carrow Rd. Sit back and catch them on the break?
Not sure our defence is up to that, but worth a thought, possibly start with Barrow? |  |

Let's go for that win once and for all. Win tomorrow and we are almost there. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Win tomorrow and the Delia's aint catching us, so that'll be only one more to keep ahead of. Palarse and Bourney are back well in range now too, as well as the North east smeggies.
Have to win tomorrow though, any way that we can. Performance matters not one single jot. | |

Maybe Fer can do what De Guzman did and bag a couple of goals. It seems that this defeat for Norwich triggered their relegation run that season. |  |

I want Bournemouth to beat Newcastle. No brainer. Us to beat Norwich and there's a lovely gap open. |  | | |

Of course I want to win, but a draw would not be the end of the world, it keeps the points gap between us and them the same, at least.
It is VERY important not to lose. | | | |

Things go right tomorrow and there could be a 9 point gap between 16th and 17th place. 1-0 to us. |  |
