Swansea City

Hull City travel to Wales on Saturday looking for their first win since February to boost their Premier League survival chances.
Steve Bruce's Hull (6-10-14) may be without a win in their last four, but they have also lost just two of their last seven in a run that has seen them pull clear of the relegation zone. However, draws with fellow strugglers Leicester City and Sunderland were missed opportunities for Bruce's side to put further distance between themselves and the bottom three, while a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea last time out saw the Tigers leave with nothing despite an excellent performance.
