Swansea City and West Ham United prepare for Championship clash

Swansea City and West Ham United are set to face each other in an EFL Championship fixture this Saturday. Swansea currently leads the league with 23 points, while West Ham sits in third place with 19 points following a 6-0 victory against Lincoln City.

Swansea enters the match facing defensive challenges at right-back. The team will be without Filip Lissah due to suspension, and first-choice defender Josh Key is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Manager Vítor Matos may be forced to use center-back Stephen Welsh, a left-back, or winger Ronald in the position.

West Ham may look to exploit these absences, potentially starting Edvin Austbø. The Norwegian player recently impressed after being introduced as a substitute against Lincoln, contributing both a goal and an assist.
