Tony Mowbray: "I'm not sitting thinking 'expect five changes at the weekend' - I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Overall, it is three wins in a row and four wins from five for the Swans. Whether we tinker with it, let's wait and see. “We know it will be a tough one, but if we play with the same honesty and intensity the guys have shown for a while now, then we back ourselves to get a good result.” “I hope we get a lot through the door, and after the last two games - and our last home game against Hull - I am sure there is going to be a brilliant atmosphere and our guys will need that energy after two tough away games and a long week. “So, we know their fans will be looking to play their part in the same way ours did, and that ours will be looking to do so again, I am sure.

Russell Martin has confirmed that Swansea City will not rush Joe Allen back from his recent injury absence. The midfielder has been out of action due to a…

We have to pick the right moment for his return,” said Martin, via “He’ll be part of the conversation for selection for Sunderland, but it’s more likely to be next week rather than this for his return.” Allen is hoping to maintain his fitness ahead of the upcoming World Cup this winter, for which he is expected to make the Wales squad.

Russell Martin issues Swansea City challenge ahead of Sunderland ... (Football League World)

Russell Martin has warned his Swansea City against any form of complacency after a positive week for the side. The Swans return to the Swansea.

This could be a big examination of the team’s promotion credentials as they look to hold on to their place high up the Championship table. That will make them a difficult test for Swansea, who will have to be at their best to earn all three points this afternoon. A win for the hosts would see them maintain their position inside the top six, and open the gap to the chasing pack behind them. He has claimed that the Black Cats will offer a big test to his squad, who he wants to see keep up their high level of performance to maintain their winning run. “So we are going to need the energy and intensity we showed in our recent games, and hopefully with plenty of people through the door the players can feed off what I am sure will be a brilliant atmosphere.” That has seen the team earn nine points from nine in their three most recent games, which has propelled the side into a play-off place in the

Confirmed Sunderland XI to face Swansea City (Football League World)

Sunderland take on Swansea City this afternoon in what should be a good game to watch given where the two sides are in the league.

Both will be looking to maintain that top six challenge over the course of the campaign, then, and that is why this clash is going to be important for both to try and win. Both have had solid starts to the campaign with the Black Cats sitting in 8th on 17 points and Swansea just a point ahead of them with them in 6th and therefore in the play-offs. Sunderland take on Swansea City this afternoon in what should be a good game to watch given where the two sides are in the league.

Cooper and Darling strikes earn Swansea fourth successive win ... (WalesOnline)

But Russell Martin's men held on to clinch all three points and cement their grip on sixth spot in the league standings having won three fixtures in a week for ...

Martin switched to a back four for the final stages as Sorinola replaced Wood, and Benda was alert to smother Amad Diallo's deflected strike with 10 minutes left on the clock. But the visitors continued to press in search of an equaliser, with Nathan Wood, Darling and Cabango all being forced to throw their bodies on the line. Swansea came within a whisker of restoring their two-goal lead as Fulton curled an effort towards the top corner, only for Patterson to tip the ball over his crossbar. Sunderland's intensity improved though, and the home side had to do more defending than they had done in the opening 45 as a result. A poor delivery from Ntcham as Swansea got into a great position. And Swansea doubled their advantage on the stroke of half-time in what was another joyous moment for set-piece coach Andy Parslow. And they extended their record of being the division's top scorers in the opening 15 minutes of league matches this season with a sublime move. It ensured Sunderland had precious little opportunity to threaten, with Patrick Roberts firing wide from a swift counter in what was a rare opening for the visitors. Manning's dinked ball over the top found Matt Grimes who cut back for Cooper to drill home his first goal of the campaign. Tony Mowbray's men took time to grow into the match, although, while they ended the first-half strongly, they failed to trouble Steven Benda. There were no signs of fatigue as the Swans started on the front foot. Joel Latibeaudiere, Darling, Cooper and Luke Cundle came in for Matty Sorinola, Kyle Naughton, Olivier Ntcham and Michael Obafemi who all dropped to the bench.

Swansea march on with victory over Sunderland (Nation.Cymru)

Swansea made it four Championship wins on the bounce as they held on for a nervy 2-1 win against Sunderland at the Swansea.com Stadium.

It got worse for the visitors on the stroke of half-time. When the breakthrough came it was no surprise. For the 2,000 Sunderland fans who made the 700-mile round trip, much of the remainder of the first half was painfully one-sided.

Fed the ball to Clarke for the goal. He’s not having a very good spell at the minute. Didn’t affect the game in the way he’s been able to recently, so was subbed off. Play-acting in the second half aside, I thought he was fine. Unlucky that the first goal deflected in off him. He improved second half, as did the whole team, but I think that first half performance was his worst of the season.

We got no points but we deserve credit for the way we performed in the second half. "Ultimately with this team, I don't think anyone is expecting us to go and win every away game in the league. It got worse for the visitors on the stroke of half-time. "The challenge is to remain consistent and relentless. We wanted to go toe-to-toe with them but they got through us too easily in the first half. When the breakthrough came it was no surprise.

Swansea vs Sunderland Player Ratings: Who impressed and who ... (Sports Illustrated)

Anthony Patterson - Unlucky with the two goals. Superb save from Fulton in the second half. A very good goal-keeper who's only getting better. 7.

Understandably acclimatising to the pace of the league. He's a quality player when he gets going but as has too often been the case, he comes and goes in games. Aji Alese - Got up and down the touchline well again, most of our problems coming from the other side of the pitch. Along with the rest of the defence he was troubled with Swansea's movement in the first half, but stood up and showed a lot of character in the second. As with the whole team he improved in the second. Anthony Patterson - Unlucky with the two goals.

Swansea City v Sunderland player ratings as Ryan Manning in form ... (WalesOnline)

This is how the Swansea City players rated in the 2-1 win over Sunderland at the Swansea.com Stadium.

So close with a header in the second-half. Brought energy to the team once again and drilled home his first goal of the season early on to put Swansea ahead. His work-rate was so good, with his tackling statistics perfectly summing up his endeavour and desire to help the team. In the form of his life right now. Good delivery in the build-up to Darling's goal too. A couple of nervy moments in the second-half but made some very important blocks and clearances.

Even before kick-off, though, this one had the makings of a tricky afternoon for the Wearsiders. And, in truth, it probably could have been more, if the likes of Michael Obafemi and Olivier Ntcham had started from the off. After consecutive goalless draws to Preston and Blackpool, Mowbray needed an answer to his goalscoring absences.
