Paul Clement: Swansea City boss says their next four games are crucial

Swansea City boss Paul Clement says his players understand the importance of the club's next four fixtures as they bid to avoid Premier League relegation.

The Swans face Burnley at home before away games with Hull and Bournemouth and a visit from Middlesbrough.

"We are very aware that this a very crucial period this run of four games," Clement told BBC Wales Sport.

"It's really important. We've really spoken about that as a group this week. The importance of this block of games."

Swansea had just 12 points when Clement arrived to succeed Bob Bradley and become Swansea's third boss of the season, on 3 January, but they are now 16th and two points clear of the bottom three.
