We are under way at the Liberty.

Lovely late sun down in south Wales - the teams are out and we are moments away from kick off.

The three previous Premier League meetings between these sides at the Liberty Stadium have all ended 1-1.

Christian Benteke has had more headers at goal than any other Premier League player this season - only three other players have reached double figures: Salomon Rondon (West Brom) with 13, Michail Antonio (West Ham) with 12 and Charlie Austin (Southampton) with 10.

Benteke has had seven headers on target, another PL high, but Antonio has the most headed goals with six - Benteke has three. Palace have the most headed goals in the Premier League.

This is not the most glamorous fixture in the Premier League this weekend, but it may just be the most important.

Two struggling sides under intense scrutiny, both desperate to halt poor runs of form.

It's the start of a crucial period for the Swans, who face four of the five teams currently just above them before the end of the year.

As has been well documented, Palace have had an awful 2016 in the league - the worst record in the top four English divisions.

By the time these teams meet again in early January, both will be hoping to be in a stronger position - starting with a positive result this weekend.

Palace have put in more crosses from open play than any other Premier League side this season, an average of more than 20 a game.

Eagles winger Andros Townsend has made more crosses - 74 - than any other PL player and Palace have scored the most headed goals (8) in the PL.

A new project by the English Football League called 'Every Player Counts' has been launched at Wembley Stadium with the aim of getting 10,000 more disabled people playing football.  

The project aims to give as many disabled people as possible access to football for the first time.  

The former England player Danny Mills and Paralympics GB footballer Jack Rutter share their experiences. 

Here are some stats lovingly put together by my colleague Chris Bevan, that seem to suggest that Palace have been...well...perhaps a bit unlucky?

Swansea manager Bob Bradley names an unchanged XI from the one that started in the 1-1 draw at Everton.

Crystal Palace make one change from the XI that started in the 2-1 defeat by Manchester City with forward Connor Wickham coming in for winger Andros Townsend.

Yes, Bob Bradley it is an unforgiving league.

The American has yet to notch his first league win since taking charge of the team in early October - to spell it out that three losses and two draws.

To throw in the old adage - you're only as good as you last performance. Actually, does that saying have any substance?

Anyway, the Swans drew 1-1 at Goodison last time out and were hugely unlucky not to come away with a win.

They are bottom with six points. Palace are 16th with 11 points - worryingly for them they're on a five-game losing run in the Premier League.

Doesn't the 'Alan Pardew Slump™' usually begin after Christmas?
