Swansea City: Boss Paul Clement thinks relegation battle will go to the wire

Swansea boss Paul Clement believes the Premier League relegation scrap will be fought until the last set of fixtures.

Clement is hoping to keep the Swans in the top flight despite fact no side has ever conceded over 60 goals after 28 games and survived, with the Swans having already conceded 61.

"It will go to the last day. For sure, there will be one team or two teams who will have the opportunity to stay up on the last day," he explained.

"We have to ensure we are not in that."

Clement says he is not concerned by the statistics that show a defence breached so often are unlikely to remain in the top flight.
