Monday night footy against the mighty Swansea. Bottom of the table Swansea are desperate for points and under new leadership recently.
However we should beat these lot with our awesome attack. Mane, Firmino and Salah will be too much for them. Also we will have stability at the back with Van Dijk making his debut in the epl.

Just looking at the table , they may be bottom but their recent form (last 5 games) has been better than the likes of Southampton, Stoke, Everton and even 8th placed Burnley !
It's a game we should be winning, but there's no room for complacency.
We should beat these comfortably, don't get me wrong I am absolutely certain that there are teams in the bottom half that have the potential to cause us trouble over the second half of the season especially if they get everyone behind the ball and sit deep (West Brom, Newcastle etc) but I don't think Swansea are one of those teams. Defensively they just don't look organised enough or well drilled enough, I suppose having a lot of managers in a short space of time hasn't helped them on that score. Anyway that's their problem, let's win this and make the most of Spurs slip up yesterday. This race for 4th is going to be tight so we can't afford to be looking gift horses like this in the mouth.
Its bottom of the table versus a team that is flying high so if we cannot be confident about that we may as well give up. win one nil or ten nil doesn't bother me as long as we take the 3 points.
