PREVIEW: Swans v West Ham

The Swans go in search of back-to-back league wins for the first time in nearly a year when they host West Ham on Sunday (4pm).

Michael Laudrup's side last recorded consecutive Premier League victories when they beat West Brom and Arsenal back in December 2012.

But following last weekend's win over Sunderland, they now face a West Ham side that have won just once in their last seven games.

And the home side will be looking to put the disappointing midweek result in Europe behind them as they return to domestic matters.

The Swans were denied a third straight win in the Europa League as Kuban Krasnodar scored a stoppage-time equaliser at the Liberty Stadium.

West Ham, meanwhile, were beaten by Manchester City last weekend and currently sit two points behind Laudrup's men in the table.

The corresponding fixture last season saw the Swans run out 3-0 winners as they temporarily went top of the Premier League.

TEAM NEWS

The Swans could welcome back Pablo Hernandez after illness and injury, but the home side will be without Ben Davies.

Ashley Williams remains a doubt despite returning to training this week.

Meanwhile, West Ham could name the same side that lost to Manchester City last week, but Carlton Cole is not match fit.
