For both teams, this match has a different form of importance. For the home side, Swansea, a win should keep them safe. For Everton, the aim is to simply finish the season free of embarrassment.
Home news
For Swansea, it’s likely that Jordan and Andre Ayew will be paired up top again together. The midfield trio of Ki Sung-yueng, Sam Clucas and Andy King will likely continue together. Kyle Naughton and Martin Olsson will parade down the flanks, while Alfie Mawson and Mike van der Hoorn will pair up either side of Federico Fernandez.
The Swans need a result here, with just two losses in their last six giving them a platform to build upon. A result here would be massive, but it will depend on how their out-of-sorts midfield trio get it together and combat the Everton overload in the middle of the park.

Away news
Everton come into this one in a rather dour run of form. Back-to-back wins were followed by a chastening 3-1 loss at home to Manchester City and a dull 0-0 draw against a Liverpool reserve side in the Merseyside derby. It’s fair to say that Sam Allardyce needs something here.
They’ll be reliant on Tom Davies, Theo Walcott and Yannick Bolasie in behind January signing Cenk Tosun. If midfield duo Morgan Schneiderlin and Idrissa Gueye are overrun, though, that could prove difficult. The front four need service; can the Toffees' destructive midfield duo provide that?
Match-up to watch
The most interested part of this game to watch is the midfield. Both sides have struggled in the middle all season, and it’ll be exciting to see who comes out on top. With Everton likely to pack the middle, if they can dominate here they could win the game.
