Lo Swansea vorrą coronare la sua migliore stagione di sempre, League Cup e nono posto grazie alla conoscenza che Laudrup ha del calcio spagnolo e ella sua straordinaria abilitą di reperire giocatori tecnici a basso costo (c'č chi ha parlato, giustamente, di Swansalona) , e quindi vedo pochissime speranze per un Fulham che ha gią da tempo mollato, con 5 sconfitte consecutive e nessuna vittoria nelle ultime 7.
Dieci giocatori in scadenza e dodici over 30 sono dati che parlano da soli circa la necessitą di apportare massicci cambiamenti al Craven Cottage se si vorrą riprendere la tradizione degli ultimi anni di arrivare nella top half of the table.

SwanseaSwansea have taken just six points from their last nine games (W1 D3 L5), putting them below the likes of Aston Villa, Sunderland, Norwich and Wigan in the form table.
The Swans have not beaten a side in the top half of the table since defeating Arsenal on 1 December. If they beat Fulham on Sunday it will mean that each of their last six league wins have been against clubs now in the bottom half of the table.
Swansea are one of only two teams this season yet to win a penalty (alongside Tottenham). Charlton in 2004-05 were the last side to go a whole Premier League season without winning a penalty.
Just 11% of Swansea's goals (five of 47) have come from set-pieces this season, which is the lowest ratio in the Premier League.
Swansea have scored the highest percentage of goals (70%) in the second half of matches in the league this season.
FulhamFulham have lost five successive Premier League games. They have only lost six in a row once before in the competition - between February and March 2002.
Eleven of Dimitar Berbatov's 14 league goals for Fulham have come before half-time. Only Clint Dempsey has scored more goals (17 last season) in a single Premier League season for the club.
They have thrown away 23 points from winning positions and gained just five from losing positions this season.
Fulham's record of four points from their last eight games puts them 19th in the form table with only relegated QPR below them.
