Middlesbrough are usually hard to break down but they lost 3-0 to Liverpool in midweek, which was only the second time one of their matches has been decided by more than a one-goal margin.
Swansea were thrashed 3-1 by West Brom in midweek as their woes continue. Bob Bradley continues to change the team and a lack of continuity in team selection is surely hindering them in their objective of moving out of the bottom three.
The bottom three are locked in for Christmas so even if Swansea win here they cannot overtake Boro, unless there is an incredible swing in goal difference.
