Swansea imbued with new-found optimism ahead of Southampton clash

Swansea City will have a chance to chalk up consecutive wins for the first time this season when a weary Southampton visit the Liberty on Tuesday evening.

The Saints are coming off a brutal stretch of three games in eight days, with two midweek cup fixtures sandwiched between last Saturday's 3-0 league victory over Leicester, and Tuesday night's match with Swansea. With home advantage and a tired opponent, the Swans should be looking for maximum points.

Swansea's transformation under Paul Clement has been so complete that all bets are off in terms of relegation. This is no longer the same side that had been floundering in the drop zone for most of the season so far.
