MATCH PREVIEW: Newcastle v Swans

Swansea City are aiming for a fourth straight away win over Newcastle when the two sides meet at St James' Park on Saturday (3pm).

The Swans have never lost on Tyneside in the Premier League and reached the 40-point mark last weekend following an impressive 1-0 home win over Chelsea.

That result saw Francesco Guidolin's men move up to 13th place in the table - their highest position since October - ahead of Saturday's trip to the North East.

However, they now face a side battling to avoid relegation from the top-flight with Rafa Benitez's side having won just once in their last 10 league games.

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez: "What I can see is a group of players training really well, trying to do what we want to do and I don't see any fear.

"I know that they are really upset and disappointed because of the last result against Southampton, so hopefully they will show the fans tomorrow what the fans are expecting from them."

Swans Head Coach Francesco Guidolin: "I think 40 points could be enough for us, but we want to beat 42 points - that's our next target.

"However, I think Saturday's game will be more difficult than Chelsea. For Newcastle it is a difficult moment but they have good players and a good manager, but I am confident in my team."
