Swansea City will look to keep their slim Championship play-off hopes alive with victory over Hull City this afternoon.
It’s a long shot, of course, but a top six spot could still be up for grabs if Russell Martin’s men continue their incredible form and deliver other results.
Swansea have won four of their last five games and played excellent football, especially against Norwich City when they beat the Canaries 3-0 at home.
Today’s hosts sit comfortably in the bottom half of the table with little to play for and are well protected. In theory, this could work in Swansea’s favour, as they look to repeat the incredible feat of the 2020 season that saw them reach the play-offs on the final day of the campaign.
Stay tuned for all the Humberside action.

Midfielders Jay Fulton and Liam Walsh will miss tonight’s trip to MKM Stadium with minor injuries, Russell Martin has confirmed.
Speaking before the game, Martin said: “Obviously we don’t have Joe Allen due to suspension, unfortunately we don’t have Jay Fulton either.
“Jay has been struggling with a tight calf for a couple of weeks now and it kinda caught on and there’s no point in taking chances and possibly making things worse before the summer.
“I expect him to come back next week against West Brom, but we’ll have to wait and see. Same with Liam Walsh, but other than that, they’re all good.
“With Walshe it’s a bit difficult and just general fatigue after being out for so long and with his injury history we have to be careful.”
Steven Benda was also absent with a knee injury.
