The Swans head to the bet365 Stadium having lost just one of their last eight league games, a run which propelled them back into the play-off places at the end of the last round of fixtures.
Andre Ayew has called on his Swansea team to get themselves prepared as they tackle Stoke City in the Championship on Saturday.

Stoke were 2-1 victors in the reverse fixture at the Liberty Stadium last October and Ayew - who scored on that occasion, acknowledges it will be another difficult game even as the Potters are out of the relegation waters with their most recent result being a 1-0 win at leaders West Bromwich Albion.
Stoke were also victors over the Swans at the Liberty – prior to O’Neill’s arrival – earlier in the eason.
All of which means top scorer Ayew and his team-mates are braced for a tough test, but keen to build on a positive run for Steve Cooper’s side.

“We always want to build on a good performance or a win. We haven’t lost a league game since Brentford in December so we want to keep that record away from home,” said the Ghanaian.
“Stoke will be a difficult game for us and they will pose a threat.
“It is important that we don’t look at their league position as they have very good players in the squad. We need to be prepared and ready for a tough game.
“Stoke have always been a difficult team to play and we lost to them at home, so we need to make sure we change that when we play them away on Saturday.”
