SATURDAY STATS: Swans v Hull City

4th April

Saturday means it's time for some statistics as we look ahead to the Swans' fixture against Hull City at the Liberty.
With the focus on this afternoon's clash with Steve Bruce's side, we take a look at the game via a statistical view.


Swans
The Swans are just five points short of creating a club record for points in the Barclays Premier League.
A 1-0 win at Aston Villa last time out was the Swans' 11th clean sheet of the campaign. Only Fraser Forster (13), who has been ruled out for the season, and Simon Mignolet (12) have more than Lukasz Fabianski (11).
Four more clean sheets from the remaining eight games would see Fabianski set a new club record for shut outs in the Premier League.
Garry Monk's side have not played in a 0-0 draw in their last 20 games. The most recent no-score draw came against Everton at Goodison Park in September.

Hull City
Of the 40 goals they have conceded, Hull are yet to be breached between the 15 to 30 minute-mark.
Steve Bruce's side have also conceded less goals than seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur (45).
The Tigers haven't won an away game in the top flight for five games. Their last victory on the road came at Sunderland on Boxing Day.
Hull's top scorer is Nikica Jelavic, who has eight goals in the top flight so far. The striker has a conversion rate of 40 per cent.
