Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of Swansea versus Everton, a big game at the bottom of the table that will take on extra significance if the score stays as it is at St. Mary's, as that means Swansea will begin play just one point above the relegation zone. Team news is on the way.

Despite that impressive home form, Swansea are winless in their last four games in all competitions and feel like they've lost some of the momentum Carlos Carvalhal has installed. With Manchester City and Chelsea up next, three points today would be vital as they are in danger of being dragged right back into the relegation scrap, having looked as though they'd escaped it a few weeks ago.

Swansea have won four home games in a row in the Premier League, including wins over Arsenal and Liverpool.

Swansea are currently 15th on 32 points, four clear of the relegation zone. That's because Chelsea turned things around in stunning fashion at St. Mary's, denying Southampton anything from the game.

Fernando Llorente's 29th-minute goal gave Swansea a 1-0 win in this fixture last season. A new source of a goal is needed today, so it's fortune that top scorer Jordan Ayew is back in the side. He's got six league goals.

Everton won their last away match at Stoke, but before that the Toffees had lost six away fixtures on the bounce. Should they win today, it will be the first time they have won back-to-back away games in the league since September 2016, and the first two away matches of last season.

That team selection certainly backs up Allardyce's comments in midweek rubbishing talk of a rift between himself and Rooney. That's lucky for Everton fans as Rooney is the club's top scorer this season, with 10 Premier League goals, and that's an impressive tally given that he's spent the majority of the season playing in midfield, as he will today.

Just the one change for Everton as Idrissa Gueye replaces Tom Davies. Wayne Rooney keeps his place in the starting line-up despite his unhappy reaction to being hooked by Sam Allardyce in the Merseyside Derby.

The hosts make three changes to the team that drew 1-1- with West Brom last week, with headline being that Jordan Ayew returns from suspension. Luciano Narsingh and Ki Sung-Yeung also come into the team, and it looks like the Ayew brothers will be up front together ahead of a three-man midfield.
