    Swansea 1-1 Tottenham

    Christian Eriksen is within a yard of turning the game completely around as his low drive from the edge of the box flies wide. Good game, this.

    Christian Eriksen

    Bang! Out of nowhere Spurs are level. I say nowhere, it actually came from a free-kick that Christian Eriksen hit from 25 yards and beat the wall and the Swans keeper with a dipping, swerver. Tottenham back in the game.

    Swansea 1-0 Tottenham

    Kyle Walker continues to struggle with Jefferson Montero. The Spurs man fouls again and gets a final warning from the referee. This is the main battle of the war so far.

    Oh, Nacer Chadli nearly draws Tottenham level with a low shot from a tight angle on the right. A solid save from Lukasz Fabianski denies him.

    Swansea's strategy is simple. Get Jefferson Montero on the ball and let him rocket into the channel behind Kyle Walker. It is working very well for them at the moment.

    I don't want you to leave me (although I suspect many of you already have) but you might want to have a quick look at the Arsenal v Manchester United live text. Just for a second, though. Then you'll come back. Right? Hello?!

    Swansea 1-0 Tottenham

    Suddenly Swansea are flying. Jefferson Montero is found again on the left but this time Kyle Walker does well, getting his body between player and ball to see the ball out for a goal-kick.

    Would you believe it?! Swansea's first real attack results in the first goal. And what a good goal it is. Bafetimbi Gomis finds Gylfi Sigurdsson, who spreads the ball wide to Jefferson Montero and his pinpoint cross is headed in by Andre Ayew.

    I've got a feeling Freddie Ljungberg made the wrong turn on the M4 earlier? He's at the Liberty Stadium alongside Ray Wilkins. His old team, Arsenal, currently lead Manchester United by two goals to nil.

    Swansea 0-0 Tottenham

    Bafetimbi Gomis makes a mess of a clearance following a throw-in and gifts the ball to Nacer Chadli but his low drive from 25 yards is straight at Lukasz Fabianski, who gathers. It is clear which of these two sides are brimming with confidence at the moment. Clue: it's Tottenham.

    Swansea 0-0 Tottenham

    Tottenham aren't allowing Swansea to settle into a passing rhythm, by fair means or foul. Kyle Walker adopts the latter to prevent the flying Jefferson Montero getting past him.

    Soon after, Hugo Lloris has to be quick off his line to claim the ball ahead of the onrushing Bafetimbi Gomis.

    After a small period of Swansea possession, Spurs break quickly and Kyle Walker forces a corner which Toby Alderweireld meets with a backward header that flies over the bar.

    This week it was Warren Gatland, next weekend, should they win, it could be Chris Coleman. The Wales football boss is in the crowd today at the Liberty Stadium.

    Swansea 0-0 Tottenham

    Nice start from Tottenham. They have a couple of chances to cross - one from either side - but neither Kyle Walker nor Christian Eriksen can find a man with their low deliveries.

    Soon after, Harry Kane is felled outside the box on the left by keeper Lukasz Fabianski, who controlled poorly and then went chasing the ball. Fortunately for him, Spurs do nothing with the free-kick, which is headed clear.

    "We expect another big, big game and a very tough game. Swansea is a team that started the season very well. "I think that they have a lot of good players and play in a philosophy that always puts the opposition in a very difficult situation. "They are a very important three points for us to keep our position or improve our position in the table."

    Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham manager

    "We'd love to spread the goals out more - every team would - but the important thing is we improve as a team right now. "There's been two games where we haven't performed, last weekend at Southampton and Watford away, in a short space of time so we have to improve. "You need to get to the 15-game mark before assessing where you are at, and what's achievable going forward from there, because that's when you see it settle down in this league."

    Garry Monk, Swansea manager

    Mark Lawrenson thinks this match will end in a 1-1 draw. "I'm going to look beyond the form table here, because I think Swansea will improve sooner or later. I am going for a draw, which would keep Tottenham ticking over and halt Swansea's slide," says our football expert.

    Alistair Mann

    "Prior to last weekend's stunning demolition of Manchester City, Spurs' encouraging start to the Premier League season had gone largely unnoticed.

    "An unfortunate opening day loss at Old Trafford has been followed by a six-match unbeaten run which has seen them creep stealthily into the top six, exhibiting a real sense of defensive solidity on the way.

    "It's been a marked contrast to Swansea, for whom an unbeaten August has long been forgotten after a winless September.

    "Swansea have not beaten Spurs in their four seasons in the Premier League, and the odds seem stacked against them altering that statistic on Sunday."
