MATCH PREVIEW: Crystal Palace v Swans
24th May
The Swans will be looking to finish a record-breaking season on a high when they face Crystal Palace on Sunday (3pm).
Garry Monk's side have broken numerous records during his first full season in charge at the Liberty Stadium, with the attention now turning to a fifth year in the Barclays Premier League come August.
But first the current campaign must come to an end at Selhurst Park, where the Swans are looking to finish how they started 2014-15 - with a victory.
A 2-1 win at Manchester United on August 16 got the season off to a flying start, with Monk's men confirming an eighth-place finish in recent weeks - their highest since winning promotion in 2011.
But they face a Crystal Palace side who have had a terrific second half of the season, with Alan Pardew's charges still harbouring hopes of a top ten finish.
WHAT THEY SAID
Palace boss Alan Pardew: "Since I've been here, in the 18 games we're sixth in the table with the team we have, and that's incredible really from where we were.
"We're hoping to pick up three more points on Sunday to reinforce that position and then we need to build on that."
Swans boss Garry Monk: "It will be a difficult game, they (Palace) are still fighting to move up a couple of places in the table and we're expecting a tough contest.
"We had a fantastic start to the season and have been the most consistent that I can remember in this league.
"But we want to try and finish on a high - we have a lot of fans travelling to support us and to finish with a win is always nice."
