    Barclays Premier League
    Date - 3 January 2017
    Kick off - 20:00
    Venue - Selhurst Park

    Swansea's beleaguered squad travel to Selhurst Park where they will find Sam Allardyce in charge of his first home match as Manager of Crystal Palace.

    Whilst Paul Clement's appointment not due to commence until Wednesday, Alan Curtis will again be in charge and will be hoping for a better showing than that against Bournemouth.

    Swansea and Palace have played each other on 26 occasions, with the Swans winning 11, Palace winning 5 and 10 draws.

    In the corresponding fixture last year, the teams played out a 0-0 draw.

    Put simply, this is a must not lose match for the Swans.

    However, with confidence fragile to say the least, I expect Palace to run out 3-1 victors.

    Not losing will be a victory, of sorts!

    14/1

    9/1 we beat Hull 2-1

    So,ive had a dabble......2 singles we win 2-1 and a double win both 2-1........150/1 lovely stuff.

    Come on you Jack bastards,in the best possible way of course <whistle>

    On the gee-gee front I shall be very disappointed if Im A Game Changer,5/2,does not win the 2-20 @ Bangor.
    If you want a dabble at a good e/w price,14/1,I am going for Moscow Calling in the 2-30 Musselburgh.Handicap debut and stablemate of the fav.

    I think the new manager boost will be felt more at palarse for Araldyse more than by our lads for Mr Clement ?

    It will probably be another game where Llorente won't see much of the ball

    Mix it up a little, stick Naughton in midfield to protect Rangel. Hes a good attacking full back but poor defensively. He knows how to cross a ball as well.

    .............................Fab
    Rangel, Fernandez , Mawson , Kingsley
    .......Naughton........Cork ....Britton

    Siggy.............Barrow
    ..................Llorente ............
