Swansea Town welcome Newcastle United to the Independence Stadium Frank Wathan takes a look at Swansea City's Initial Category battle with Newcastle United. Present Form: Taking out last weekendas pot success, Swanseaas last Premier outing was a thumping at Liverpool, itself adhering to a 4-1 rout of QPR at home, their second league win of 2013. Newcastle, between Euro action, have won three of the last four with defeat within their last absent day at Tottenham. Last time around: Last Easteras experience between the sides a' part of a four-game winless work from Swansea after they had all but guaranteed emergency a' was dominated amazingly by Swansea limited to the Toon to triumph following an opening opportunist strike from Cisse followed up by a second-half question target. Swansea got their revenge when Jonathan de Guzman and Michu secured an extraordinary 2-1 away gain in November, Demba Ba getting an accident time convenience. The Gaffer a Alan Pardew: Former Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton employer who has impressed on Tyneside having led Newcastle to European soccer last year while picking up director of the year brands. Maybe not adverse to a or making his point to referees, is seeking to end season strongly after worrying start to season. Player to view a Papiss Cisse: Needs no introduction to Liberty supporters following Senegalese staras wonder target in South Wales this past year. Found his form again while the lone man backed by way of a group of Toon skill only behind, is going to be wanting to make tag having missed St Jamesa Park conflict through international red tape. That's the ref?: Craig Pawson (South Yorks) What the bookies say: Swansea 11/10, Newcastle 12/5, Draw 12/5 Likely Line-Ups Swansea Area (Probable ): Vorm; Rangel, Bartley, Williams( Capt), Davies; Britton, p Guzman; Dyer, Routledge, Hernandez; Michu.
