Swans solid at home - but formidable Lions come next

Swansea City have played 11 home games since Alan Sheehan took the reins in February and have lost only one.

There have been a couple of frustrating draws during that sequence, when late goals from visiting sides have left Swansea with one point after three had been in their grasp.

But there have been six league wins – against Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Derby, Plymouth and Hull last season and Sheffield United in this campaign – as well as the three Carabao Cup successes which have set up next month's mouthwatering meeting with Manchester City.

Only Burnley have won in Swansea since Sheehan succeeded Luke Williams, a record which makes good reading for a club whose home form has so often been too inconsistent in recent years.

Yet after back-to-back league draws at the Swansea.com Stadium, against Watford and Hull, the Swans may feel home Championship win number two of this season is due when they take on Millwall this Saturday (12:30 BST).

"I think the home form has been good but we can't take it for granted," Sheehan said.

"We don't just show up and win games at home - we need the fans behind us.

"They have been wonderful for us and hopefully we can give them something to get behind early in the game while understanding it will be a difficult test."

Millwall under Alex Neil are not a side who tend to make life easy for their opponents, as their record this season proves.

They are yet to lose an away league game in 2025-26, having won at Norwich City and Sheffield United and drawn at Charlton Athletic.

The Lions also triumphed at Newport County in the Carabao Cup, with their solitary reverse on the road coming in the third round of that competition at Premier League Crystal Palace – and even then they were only beaten on penalties.
