Swansea boss wants avoid 39th game against Hull City

This is a modal window.

Swansea manager Paul Clement feels the Swans must win their four remaining matches in order to stay in the Premier League.

Swansea boss Paul Clement hopes to avoid a historic Premier League relegation playoff with Hull.

The so-called "39th game'' would happen if Hull and Swansea finished in joint-18th place, level on points, goal difference and goals scored.

At the moment Hull have a two-point advantage over Swansea with three games remaining but the two clubs' goal difference and goals scored are similar.

Swansea's goal difference is -29 compared with Hull's -31, and the Welsh club have scored four more goals.
