    "'Summertime and the livin' is easy', sang Ella Fitzgerald, and that certainly rings true with Swansea.

    "They're unbeaten in their last eight Premier League fixtures in August and will be confident of making it two wins from two in their opening home game.

    "After the chaos of their pre-season, Hull now have history in their sights - the Tigers have never won their first two matches of a Premier League campaign.

    "I was struck by the unity of the squad - what's left of it - in the win over Leicester last week. That can mask the problems behind the scenes, but for how long?"

    Swansea striker Fernando Llorente is starting today and is holding a baby in the tunnel. Talk about being relaxed. He is giving him/her (can't tell) a peck on the head.

    The players make their way out onto the pitch at a chilly Liberty Stadium.

    Swansea City's new American owners have revealed they are in talks with Swansea council about expanding the club's Liberty Stadium home.

    Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan led a consortium which bought a 68% controlling stake in the Swans in July.

    The council-owned ground's capacity of 21,000 is the second smallest in the Premier League.

    "That is one of the things that is top of our list," Levien told BBC Wales Sport.

    Hull started off with an impressive win on the opening day and Swansea grabbed the three points in their match too.

    It was not a classic and will not be making any highlights DVDs, but midfielder Leroy Fer tapped in the winner against Burnley to give the Swans a winning start.

    Someone will lose their 100% winning start to the new campaign today.

    Manager quits two weeks before the start of the season, £0 spent in transfer window, 13 fit senior players, favourites to get relegated, fan protests, owner who wants to sell.

    Hull City were in disarray ahead of the new Premier League campaign, but the heart of the club is still beating following a mightily impressive opening day win over champions Leicester.

    Can Mike Phelan's side repeat the feat against Swansea today?
