West Brom have seen a bit more of the ball, but that allows Swansea to launch a counter through Andre Ayew. He cuts in on to his left boot and sees a shot deflected wide.

Ash, Bristol: Swansea's away kit has to be the worst I've seen for a few seasons! Shocking!  

I've been waiting for a picture to drop of Swansea's away kit, and here one is.

What bar does it look like?

Reminds me of those Twister ice lollies you could get (you probably still can?).

West Brom once again find joy from their 'get it into the box approach'. James McClean crosses from deep and Darren Fletcher meets it at the back post. He opts to nod it down to Salomon Rondon, but it eludes the striker.

I know we didn't expect a classic, did we? But part of me hoped this game would defy the pre-match predictions of boredom.

To be fair, Ki Sung-yeung has just played a remarkable ball from his own left-back position that has raked about 50 yards to release Angel Rangel. The Swansea right-back whacks a shot wide from log range.

To give you an idea of the pattern of the game, here are both side's touches so far.

West Brom are on the left (they've not touched it much), Swansea are on the right (they've touched it a bit more).

For all their pretty passing, Swansea have yet to get it into the Albion box with purpose. West Brom, meanwhile, are getting it into the nitty gritty of the danger area whenever they can.

Craig Dawson has popped up from right-back a few times to get in some crosses. 

That picture of Francesco Guidolin down below sums up the evening in the Black Country. Big coat, big hat, 17 pairs of socks. Job done.

Swansea are still passing it around like Duracell Bunnies by the way...

Swansea might have a new manager, but they look like their old selves.

Aside from this curious blue and luminous green away kit their clobbered up in today.

Whatever the colours, the Swans keep it nicely and building slowly whenever they can.

Swansea, keen to put the cork back on that fizzy start from West Brom, have kept the ball nicely. Neil Taylor is released down the left but Craig Dawson is across to block the cross.

Oh lively stuff from West Brom. Stephane Sessegnon bundles his way to the by-line and lays it off to Craig Dawson to cross. Darren Fletcher meets it with his head and Lukasz Fabianski tips over.

Salomon Rondon pokes the ball forward and away we go.

Not much separating these sides in that bottom third of the table.

West Brom are 14th, Swansea 15th, with the Albion three points ahead.

Both have scored 22 goals.

West Brom have conceded 30, Swansea 31.

Both have won two of their last five league games.

And, all the letters in the word Swansea can be found in the words West Bromwich Albion.

Spooky.

Alistair Mann
MOTD commentator at Vicarage Road

"One of the main reasons why both West Brom and Swansea are in the pack of clubs just above the bottom three is their paltry total of just 22 goals - any side who net less than a goal a game know they're likely to be precariously positioned.

"Despite this problem, both have being doing enough of late to keep out of the quicksand, with the Baggies having suffered just one defeat in five, while the Swans have lost just two in their last seven.

"At The Hawthorns, there has been more attention on Saido Berahino than the results on the pitch, while two successive victories and the appointment of Francesco Guidolin has lifted Swansea's negativity.

"Defeat though for either and the 'R' word would undoubtedly resurface."

While some hideous music pumps out of the Hawthorns PA system (honestly, it's horrendous), have a munch on this stat.

Swansea City head coach Francesco Guidolin: "We have a few more days than them to get ready, but it does not make much difference.

"A win would be important but right now I am very happy. Our position was not good but with two victories the table looks better.

"I have some other ideas (how to play) but this is a moment when I can't change too many things."

Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin. A gun for hire. Handyman supreme. No job too small. No job too big.

He'll literally work anywhere.

That's why he's had 16 different jobs at 14 different teams in his 28-year managerial career.

Here are all the clubs. I might test you on them later (although I'll probably forget).

Giorgione, Treviso, Fano, Empoli, Ravenna, Atalanta, Vicenza, Udinese (twice), Bologna, Palermo (twice), Genoa, Monaco, Parma, Swansea.

Lord Lawro has gone for a 2-1 win for the Albion in this one tonight.

He's taking on Felix White, guitarist in indie-rock band The Maccabees, who has also stumped for a Baggies win, but by a 1-0 scoreline.
