Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Swansea City and Aston Villa. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Liberty Stadium in Swansea and can be live streamed here free.
Despite recent poor form—the club has just three goals in their last five matches—Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert still has faith in his attack (h/t to Sky Sports)."They won't be nervous. That won't come into it," said Lambert. "You give them the belief that they will go and win, and I know we have a goal threat," he added.
"I know we have that attacking threat."
"We know we're up against a good side in Swansea, but we will go with the confidence to win."

Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Aston Villa's Marc Albrighton has had a modicum of success since joining the club. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has two assists and averages 1.9 key passes per match for the club. His contributions will be vital if Villa are to return to form.
Swansea City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vorm; Davies, Williams, Amat, Rangel; Shelvey, Britton; Routledge, Guzman, Emnes; Bony
Aston Villa's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Guzan; Bertrand, Baker, Vlaar, Bacuna; Delph, Westwood, Ahmadi; Weiman, Agbonlahor, Albrighton
