The FourFourTwo Preview: Swansea vs Crystal Palace

The talented Blackpool winger was a confirmed transfer target for Swansea during the January transfer window before eventually opting to move to Selhurst Park on loan for the rest of the season. 

Ince has wasted little time in making an impact, scoring on his debut in a 3-1 win against West Brom, and has suggested that Swansea will struggle to deal with Palace's attacking players this weekend, comments that could see him singled out for a hostile reception at the Liberty Stadium.

"Swansea play nice football," Ince told The South London Press this week. "But will they be able to handle the threat we give them with Glenn Murray, Marouane Chamakh, Cameron Jerome, Yannick Bolasie, Jason Puncheon and myself?" 

The Welshman's next immediate concern is addressing the team's inconsistent streak as Palace have won and then lost the following game over an eight-match streak that stretches back to the start of January.

Last season's League Cup winners came agonisingly close to progressing to the last 16 of the tournament, only for two goals in the final 12 minutes at the Stadio San Paolo to leave Monk's side deflated as Napoli won 3-1 on aggregate.

That setback in Italy followed a 4-3 defeat against Liverpool last Sunday when Swansea twice battled back to draw level at 2-2 and then 3-3 before being undone by Jordan Henderson's late goal at Anfield.
