Bettor.com analyzes the players who could shine on the weekend clash at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea:
Michu:
The Spanish midfielder arrived in Wales with a low price tag and was expected to be an average signing for the Swans, who had already showcased some truly spectacular champagne football during the 2011/12 season.
However, Michu managed to capitulate the Premier League with an outrageous run of form which now ties him with illustrious players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812 and Luis Suarez.
The play-maker tends to play in the centre of the park, but is known to maraud all over the field and in particular can pick up pockets of space in the front-line.
His goals against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 last week were full of quality and attracted the attention of England’s biggest clubs.
Swansea will have their hands full as they try to keep the Spanish star at the helm but it’s Norwich who should be worrying at the moment, as they have been tasked with stopping him getting on the score sheet.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041.
Keeping him at the helm seems to be the priority for the club and they been urged by Angel Rangel to do so, as Michu is the main star behind the team’s impressive run of results.
"That's something the club has to consider and he is a player we can't afford to lose. Hopefully he will stay here for a long time and we can have good success. That's a massive achievement," he continued. Not many players can score 10 goals in the Premier
League. He has done a fantastic http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.”
“He gives us an aerial threat that we probably lacked a bit before. He is feeling comfortable, enjoying his life in Swansea and everyone is happy with him,” he said.
Ashley Williams:
Swansea’s credible has been lauded with praise by all corners of the press and the public, but most people fail to take into account that the club would be nothing without their superior backline.
Captain Ashley Williams has been a solid rock at the back and will be hoping that with Neil Taylor out for this one, he can continue the trend of dutiful defending on his on.
Grant Holt is Norwich City’s main man and Williams will be responsible for keeping him in check and making sure that he doesn’t get on the score sheet.
Norwich City:
Anthony Pilkington:
The midfielder is reportedly wanted by English Premier League giants Manchester United such has been the quality of his performances. With his intrinsic tackling and passing ability, United’s attraction is justified and Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson himself witnessed
the player’s capability in the club’s loss at Carrow Road.
With talents in plenty of bundles available, the Pilkington’s main task will be stopping the Swansea midfield that comes his way and creating chances for Holt, who will be playing as the sole forward for this one.
Grant Holt:
The attacker is Norwich’s captain and has stuck by the club through thick and thin. He started as with them when they were struggling in lower leagues and for his reward bullies Premier League defenders for good measure.
With typical built of an English striker, keeping off the score sheet is proving to be a difficult task even for top team, so Swansea will be hoping that either he stays ineffective or is stopped by one of their quality defenders.
