Positive approach may backfire for Bradley's Swans

Premier League
3pm Saturday
Bob Bradley thought Swansea were up and running after the 5-4 Crystal Palace win, but he was brought crashing back down to earth by the 5-0 loss at Spurs last Saturday.

The manner of the defeat – they lost the shot count 28 to one – was alarming.

The Swans will try to be positive against Sunderland but could leave themselves open at the back and that may prove disastrous with predatory Jermain Defoe on the premises.

Recommendation
Sunderland draw no bet
1pt 6-4 general

Team news
Swansea Ki Sung-Yueng and Federico Fernandez (both broken toe) miss out.

Sunderland Duncan Watmore (knee) misses the rest of the season, but Jason Denayer and Steven Pienaar have recovered from illness and Fabio Borini (thigh) could be back in the squad.

Key stat
Swansea have won one of their last 13 league matches
