In a little under eight weeks' time, Swansea will have a far clearer picture of which division they'll be playing in next season. The club are about to start an eight-game stretch of mostly winnable matches, bookended by home and away fixtures vs. Crystal Palace starting this Saturday. It isn't an exaggeration to say that this is a must-win game.
Last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Everton was both encouraging and frustrating, while relegation rival Sunderland's unexpected 3-0 victory over Hull might actually have been the best result for the Swans. In beating Hull, Sunderland pushed Swansea to last place, but closed the gap between several of the sides at the bottom of the table.
