    Swansea are being allowed a lot of time on the ball, even 10 yards inside Norwich's half. The visitors are stroking it around very comfortably at the moment, although Bafetimbi Gomis concedes possession cheaply with an overhit pass.

    Gorgeous interplay down the left from Swansea releases Jefferson Montero - his cross threatens to cause problems, but in fact it's just curled out of play.

    Howson lets fly from 25 yards when Federico Fernandez's clearing header falls to him - it's well struck, but Lukasz Fabianski is easily behind it. Much better five minutes from Norwich though.

    That's better from Norwich, who create the clearest chance so far. It's a good free kick, whipped in from the left by Jonny Howson, and Cameron Jerome does brilliantly to escape his marker but can't keep his header down.

    "I don't think Garry Monk is under pressure - he has been doing a fantastic job. He goes again today, and it'll be difficult at Carrow Road where Norwich are fighting for their survival. 

    "Any pressure Monk is feeling is as a result of doing so well in recent times."

    Norwich have the opportunity to counter when Swansea over-commit at the subsequent corner, but Robbie Brady can't release Cameron Jerome, who was screaming for it.

    Norwich 0-0 Swansea

    Norwich are struggling to keep hold of the ball in these early exchanges, and when they do finally get some possession, Robbie Brady gives it away with a terrible pass. Jefferson Montero then skins Andre Wisdom to get to the byline, where his cross is turned behind. All Swansea so far.

    Some nice, neat passing from Swansea before Ki Sung-yueng releases Andre Ayew down the inside right with a lovely through ball. However, his attempted cutback is cleared by Sebastien Bassong.

    Anything you can do, I can do, well, even worse. Bafetimbi Gomis sees Wes Hoolahan's awful attempted lob from 40 yards and raises him a dreadful shanked volley from 30 yards out. It can only get better, I suppose.

    "This is a massive game. The players will know that, the atmosphere will be big there and both managers will be feeling the pressure. 

    "Norwich, as a club, need to remain calm and not panic. Yes they have lost a few games, but what did they expect having just come up?"

    Good lord. After only 10 seconds, Wes Hoolahan launches an, ahem, optimistic effort from 40 yards that sails high and wide.

    After an impeccably observed minute's silence, away we go. Norwich is yellow and green, Swansea in all white. The home side, kicking from left to right, get us going.

    Another concern for the away side is the form of striker Bafetimbi Gomis, who has failed to score in his last seven matches.

    Ahead of this game, he's had this to say on Instagram:, external "There are some times more difficult than others. However it's at this moment that we have to stay close and work harder than never. 

    "All together with our loyal supporters nothing is impossible and we will find the success!"

    But will they find it this afternoon? Will Gomis find the net? We're about to find out...

    Ayew and Montero: the golden couple in happier times

    What's happened to Swansea? For the first few weeks of the season, they looked like one of the most dangerous teams in the league - with the wing wizardry of Jefferson Montero and Andre Ayew causing opponents particular problems.

    Ayew in particular was sensational, banging in three goals in August and being widely hailed as the signing of the season.

    Since then, Garry Monk's team have hit the skids, with four defeats in their last seven - and the wingers have only scored twice between them. Have teams worked Ayew and Montero out? Or is it just a blip? Today could provide the answers...

    We all know how important it is for newly promoted sides to pick up points at home, but Carrow Road has been anything but a fortress for Norwich of late.

    Alex Neil's side have won only one of their last eight matches at home - and lost six.

    They'll need to turn that around pronto if they're to avoid the drop. Is today the day they start?

    It's been a season of mixed fortunes so far for the Swans and the Canaries. After flying starts, they're both in danger of heading south for the winter. 

    Norwich have lost their last four to drop to 16th, while Swansea have only won one of their last seven - causing them to plummet from 4th to 13th.

    Can one of these sides pick up a much-needed victory today?
