Swansea will be feeling much better about visiting the Hawthorns than their trip to Old Trafford last week. Carlos Carvalhal’s mission to save the club can get back on track against West Bromwich Albion who are now 11 points adrift with six games to play. However who knows what change Alan Pardew’s exit could bring. The relief for the players of a manager’s tactics that were failing absolutely could be enough to inspire an unlikely victory despite survival hopes approaching the academic stage. Graham Searles
