Two clubs in opposite halves 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.
What They're Saying
Swansea City manager Garry Monk (via BBC): "I'd say [Christian] Benteke probably covers more yards than [Wilfried] Bony, but Bony's more effective in what he does. They are both very powerful. They are different types of players to be honest, but both very much quality players."
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert (via Vital Football): "We look a good side. We have been beaten once in seven games, which is pretty decent. To play like we did against Manchester United, with ten men for that long spell, was very good. But there were a few pleasing aspects in it."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Bony has proven to be effective in front of goal for Swansea City. In 17 league appearances, the 26-year-old has eight goals and two assists.
Swansea City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Taylor, Williams, Fernandez, Richards; Yueng, Shelvey; Montero, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Bony
Aston Villa's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Guzan; Clark, Vlaar, Okore; Cissokho, Delph, Sanchez, Cleverley, Hutton; Benteke, Weimann
