1-1.

Sadly Swansea are on form and I see michu having a party - 4-0 home win.

I have gone for a draw. I think Lambert will have hopefully learnt something about 3 at the back and lightweight midfields.

Hopefully Vlaar is back. Westwood to start, Herd to get a slot by him. Yes he is no good, but at least he can press and get a tackle in. Take your pick of the rest of a useless midfield. Holman to press, Bannan maybe to link the midfield and attack.

Andi and Benteke up top.

Its going to be very tough.

[Karlos96]

I can see us getting a pasting here 4-0 at least. 

[The Left Side]

Head says defeat but my heart says win, so I have gone for a draw.

4-1 defeat and in the bottom 3.

[CJ]

Another morale-sapping defeat.

[Monty]

I agree with those saying we might lose by quite a few. However, play the right team - surely four at the back now, more width and - for fuck's sake - no Ireland or Lichaj.

[sirlordbaltimore]

I can foresee a record low possession stat, being turned inside out and losing by 3

[eastie]

Will probably be heavily criticised for this but I'd bring given back in goal and take Guzan out of the firing line for this game after conceding 15 goals in 3 games .

No reflection on Guzan but sometimes a change of goalie can have a positive effect.

[SoccerHQ]

Lambert actually has a good record against Swansea and that was unquestionably our most comfortable league win of the season.

Way things are though, 2-0 loss and in the bottom 3 as I think Southampton will draw with Arsenal.

[dekko]

Its got to the point where I actually wouldnt mind losing, so long as its only by 1 or 2

[silhillvilla]

5-0 defeat, hatrick for Michu
