It might only be by comparison, but Swansea City no longer appear the Premier League's crisis club. Tuesday's 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace can be a turning point, and not only because of new manager Paul Clement's arrival. Their rivals in the battle to avoid relegation are beginning to reveal their own troubles.
Swansea, 19th, are just a point behind Sam Allardyce's new side and at Selhurst Park it was the home side and not Swansea who looked riven by disunity. Allardyce was clapped on to the field for his first home game, but the Palace fans were booing his players from early on.
