Swansea City travel to face Queens Park Rangers this Saturday aiming to maintain their position at the top of the Championship. The Swans sit first with 23 points from 11 games, a record of seven wins, two draws and two losses, and hold a one-point lead over West Ham. They have won four of their last five league matches, a run that has propelled them to first place.
They sit one point clear of West Ham with 23 points from 11 games, having scored 16 goals and conceded just eight. That strong form was built on a sequence of victories over Millwall, Norwich and Lincoln, before a narrow 1-0 home defeat to West Ham last time out. The recent results include a 2-1 win over Norwich, a 2-1 victory at Lincoln, and a 3-1 triumph against Burnley, though it began with a 3-1 loss to Southampton. The defeat to West Ham on Saturday 17 October was decided by a single goal. Idah remains their primary attacking threat, having netted four times in ten appearances this season.
QPR's recent struggles
Their opponents, QPR, have found consistency harder to achieve. They are ninth in the table and were beaten 3-0 by Birmingham in their last outing. In their previous four matches, they have managed just one win, a 4-1 victory over Derby, alongside two draws and that heavy loss.
Swansea's last starting lineup featured Vigouroux in goal behind a back four of Ronald, Cabango, Welsh and Tymon. The midfield trio of Gonçalo Franco, Fulton and Stamenić supported attackers Yeo, Idah and Joseph Okopu.
Swansea City will be looking to immediately bounce back from the West Ham setback and reinforce their title credentials on the road.
