Swansea City have ended their tough run of fixtures in the bottom three so a win against Watford this weekend is a must.
Swansea City manager Bob Bradley
Swansea City have come through a very tough run of fixtures which saw them meet three of the Premier League’s top four in their last three games and it cost Francesco Guidolin his job.
New boss Bob Bradley took charge for his first game on the weekend when the Swans were beaten 3-2 by a confident Arsenal outfit.
One manager down and a spot in the relegation zone, Swansea now have the chance to start correcting things with a home fixture against Watford this weekend.
Watford’s Jose Holebas scores their first goal
It’ll be no easy task, however with Watford currently sitting in the top half following a positive start to the campaign. The Hornets have only lost once away this season but that was against newly-promoted Burnley just a couple of weeks ago.
After doing well to compete against the ‘big boys’ in recent weeks, Swansea should be feeling confident of taking three points at home against Watford.
Not only should they be feeling confident, but they really need to come away with all three points on the weekend or they will be fully involved in a relegation battle despite it being early in the season.
Swansea City’s Gylfi Sigurdsson scores their first goal
Swansea face an improving Stoke side on the road next week before facing Manchester United, Everton and Tottenham in three of the four games after that so if they don’t win this weekend then Bob Bradley has real cause to be concerned.
A win certainly won’t make everything rosy again at the Liberty Stadium but failing to get one could hit home the harsh reality of an upcoming relegation battle.
