Newcastle v Swansea preview and tips

Newcastle are 2nd from last just 6 points behind Norwich who is at the moment safe. They also have a game in hand. No matter what happens in the early game Norwich v Sunderland, Newcastle should win their own game. Newcastle have won just one point in their last seven Premier League matches (0-1-6). Benitez’s record is currently at 0-1-3.

Midfielder Colback is available after serving a two-match ban for collecting 10 bookings.

Left-back Dummett also returns return from an injury, but right-back Janmaat is sidelined. He joins keepers Krul and Elliot and defenders Coloccini, S.Taylor, Haidara and Mbabu in the injury list.

Swansea are 13 point clear from relegation and definitely safe! They have won just three of their last 17 Premier League away matches (3-5-9) but they come from 3 straight wins in St James Park.

Britton has recovered from a back injury and rejoins the Swansea squad but not be in the starting line-up. It would be a difficult decision for Guidolin to change the team who beat Chelsea last weekend.

Our bet: We were expecting a huge impact of Benitez’s arrival in Newcastle but it has not paid back yet. The hosts have to give it all against Swansea and this might be enough. We will back Newcastle once more expecting something back this time.

Home win for Newcastle (27/20, 2.35)
