Swansea City Preview – Can the Swans maintain unbeaten start?
Steve Cooper did a remarkable job in his first year at Swansea City, guiding the Welsh side to the play-offs in a disruptive season. The Swans started and ended well to finish in sixth spot. Unfortunately for them, they were beaten by Brentford over two legs in the Championship play-off semi-finals.
Swansea have made another strong start this season. Cooper’s men beat Preston North End 1-0 at Deepdale on the opening weekend of the season. On matchday two, City were held to a 0-0 draw by Aitor Karanka’s Birmingham City.
Swansea got back to winning ways last time out, cruising to an easy victory at Adams Park. The Swans were a class above Gareth Ainsworth’s Wycombe Wanderers, with Andre Ayew and Jamal Lowe scoring in the comfortable 2-0 win.
Swansea will be pushing for the play-offs once again this season. Can they head into the first international break of the season with ten points from a possible 12?
Millwall Preview – Lions to be tough opponents for the Swans?
Since taking over from the popular Neil Harris, who is now in charge of Swansea’s rivals Cardiff City, Gary Rowett has settled into life at The Den with aplomb. Millwall ran out of steam in their promotion charge last season, but this squad of players are capable of challenging again this time around.
Millwall have won three, drawn two and lost one of six league and cup matches so far. In the Championship, the Lions started with a 0-0 draw with Stoke City, which they followed up with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rotherham United at the New York Stadium in their second league game.

Millwall then held Championship promotion favourites Brentford to a draw at The Den last weekend. Having taken an early lead on home turf, the Lions would have been desperate to hold on for all three points, but the draw maintained their unbeaten league start. Can the London side leave Wales with a positive result this Saturday?
