    Swansea 1-0 Luton

    "Shape, shape, shape," is the regular call from Nathan Jones at the Liberty Stadium.

    The Luton boss is the noisiest man at the Liberty Stadium - where we are still without fans, of course - with a continual flow of messages to his team.

    Keeping shape and pressing when possible is a common theme - and Luton's approach is causing Swansea problems.

    In truth, the Hatters should be level, but Luke Berry skied a golden chance after Luton's press had seen Swansea lose possession deep in their own half.

  3. A happy homecoming for Jones?published at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2020

    Swansea 1-0 Luton

    Luton Town manager Nathan Jones is back in his native south Wales just a week after a miserable visit to Cardiff City, where his team were thumped 4-0.

    Jones, who hails from the Rhondda Valley, will be hoping for better this weekend - but things have not started well with Connor Roberts' deflected shot giving Swansea an early lead.

    Jones won at the Liberty Stadium not once but twice last season - with Luton in June and Stoke in October 2019.

    But after a frustrating defeat at Middlesbrough in midweek, Swansea's Steve Cooper - from Pontypridd - has got the early advantage in the latest battle of the Rhondda-born managers.
