The FourFourTwo Preview: Norwich vs Swansea

Michael Laudrup's men have been unable to build on their 3-0 victory over Newcastle on December 4, drawing at home to Hull City before losing at Saint Gallen in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

The welsh side will be seeking a response when they return to domestic action, although they have injury worries that were only added to by the trip to Switzerland, with centre-back Chico Flores hurting his knee.

Michu (ankle) returned in Swansea's 1-1 draw against Hull on December 9, but he was rested for the Europa League clash.

In their past four meetings, Norwich have claimed three victories and the most recent match – in April – finished in a 2-2 draw.

Chris Hughton's side have three wins and two losses since then, moving four points clear of the relegation zone.

The biggest problem for Hughton's team has been their defence – somewhat skewed by the seven-goal loss at City – having conceded 28 goals in 15 league games.
