Preview | Swansea City v Hull City
Swansea City will look to extend their unbeaten run when they host Hull City at the Swansea.com Stadium this afternoon.
Alan Sheehan's Swans are unbeaten in five games in all competitions, and entered the weekend's fixtures sitting seventh in the Championship table.
They face a Hull side who have taken one win from their first four league games under new boss Sergej Jakirovic.
Team news
New signings Adam Idah, Manuel Benson and Ishe Samuels-Smith are all in contention to make their Swansea City debuts after arriving at the end of the summer transfer window.
But midfielders Jay Fulton and Marko Stamenic are set to miss out with groin injuries, while Ricardo Santos is not fully fit as he returns from a knee injury.
Pre-match views
Alan Sheehan: "This going to be a difficult game, as they typically are in the Championship.
"They have been involved in some high-scoring games so far this season, and they obviously have a new manager from when we came up against them at the end of last season.
"So it will be a tough test, but it will also be great to get back out in front of our own fans.
"Hopefully we can produce a performance that gets them involved in the game early."
Sergej Jakirovic: "We always analyse everything. I analyse myself as well, but sometimes we didn't have the right solutions, maybe in some positions. Now it's a completely different story.
"We need to change this; two defeats in a row, for sure. We play against Swansea now. It's a very demanding match for us.
"They're a very good team, good on the ball in possession with a lot of automation in their play.
"We have to be a lot more concentrated, much more focused, much better defending, especially in the boxes and control their players better.
"We have spoken a lot about these things. We need to improve a lot of things from the last two games."

Remember the last time?
Žan Vipotnik struck the winner from the penalty spot as Swansea City deservedly beat Hull City to claim a fourth victory in a row when the Tigers last visited SA1.
The Slovenian netted his seventh goal of the season in the second half, after John Egan was adjudged to have handled the striker’s goalbound shot.
That, allied to yet another clean sheet, meant the Swans recorded a quartet of league games without conceding for the first time since March 2008.
It was no less than the home side deserved in front of a bumper home sell-out bank holiday crowd, as they had much the better of the contest against stubborn opponents battling to avoid relegation.
Prime numbers
4 - Having scored for Slovenia during the international break, Zan Vipotnik has scored four goals in his last four games.
6 - This is Swansea City's best start to a season across six games in all competitions since the beginning of the 2019-20 campaign under Steve Cooper.
