Swansea City v Norwich City 3pm

Swansea started strongly against Arsenal on Tuesday night with Wilfred Bony putting the visitors ahead after 11 minutes. Arsenal however staged an impressive comeback with two goals inside of 66 seconds. The Swans were rewarded for their efforts however when Arsenal defender Mathieu Flamini turned the ball into his own net to give the visitors a point.


Wilfred Bony scored his 12th goal of the season on Tuesday putting the Swans 1-0 up against Arsenal after just 11 minutes. Bony is currently Swansea’s top scorer this season and has a shot accuracy rating of 44%. Bony is 6/5 with 888sport.com to score at any time this weekend.


Swans fans will look to Jonathan De Guzman to inspire their team in attack this weekend against struggling Norwich. The Dutchman made 23 attacking contributions (shots on target, crosses, passes and dribbles) against Arsenal midweek and may well have given Gary Monk’s men more to cheer about had the final whistle not been blown.


Ashley Williams was crucial to Swansea’s defensive performance against the Gunners on Tuesday. The Welshman won 100% of his tackles and made 20 clearances. The EA SPORTS Player Performance Index shows that Williams made a total of 29 defensive contributions during the match; bringing his season total to 366.


Norwich took a positive step towards Premier League survival last week as they comfortably breezed past Sunderland 2-0. The Canaries are now 13th in the table, 7 points clear of relegation and just 3 points behind 10th placed Aston Villa. As a result Chris Hughton’s men will be full of confidence ahead of their clash with Swansea this weekend.


Robert Snodgrass has continued to provide creativity in attack this season for the Canaries. The Scotsman made 31 attacking contributions (shots on target, passes, crosses and dribbles) against Sunderland, adding to his season total of 547, which is the highest at the club this season. Cannaries’ fans will be expecting to see a repeat performance from the former Leeds United player. Snodgrass is 9/2 with 888sport.com to score at any time this weekend.


Alexander Tettey scored a spectacular goal from 30 yards to seal the win following Snodgrass’s opener after 20 minutes. The EA SPORTS Player Performance Index shows that the Norwegian had a shot accuracy rating of 100% and that he made 16 attacking contributions in addition to his goal.


Sebastian Bassong will be expected to set an example in defence this week against Swansea. The Norwich defender has made an impressive 275 defensive contributions (tackles won, blocks, clearances and interceptions) this season, and won 76% of his challenges.
