Everton v Swansea

Everton fans have been bemoaning the worst season in living memory, but a quick glance at where they find themselves after a mini revival under the great Big Sam suggests they might be slightly over-reacting. For a side who have only cracked the Top 6 in seven of the 25 Premier League season's to date, their current 10th place spot, with a game in hand, really isn't all that bad.

They come into this match with Swansea with every chance of another win as they take on the bottom side who look in a bad state of affairs right now. In fact, over the past 10 games, our ratings make them the worst side in the division, although they have played away at Arsenal and Chelsea in that spell, and hosted Man City.

Swansea's 8 defeats and a draw in their last 10 matches speaks volumes about the predicament they are in, while Everton are four wins and a draw since Sam took over (albeit watching from the stands in the West Ham match). Their 1-1 draw with Liverpool, while fortuitous, showed they had set-up correctly for the occassion, and they kept a clean sheet against Newcastle as well.
