SATURDAY STATS: Newcastle v Swans
16th April
Saturday means it's time for some statistics as we look ahead to this afternoon's Barclays Premier League fixture against Newcastle United.
The Swans travel to St. James' Park aiming to extend their unbeaten run to four games, following victories over Aston Villa and Chelsea, either side of a hard-earned 2-2 draw at Stoke.
And ahead of tomorrow's kick-off we've taken a look at the game from a statistical perspective.
