    We think the Swansea supporters enjoyed those Sunderland goals earlier.

    Of course, it won't really mean anything if they don't come away with three points themselves.

    The players are lining up in the tunnel. I can imagine the nerves are a jangling a bit for the Swansea boys.

    Everton defender Ashley Williams gives some of his former team-mates a warm handshake and smile on his way down.   

    Leon Britton leads the hosts out and his mascot is nearly as tall as him!

    Chelsea Warrior: Up to the Swans now. That result from Hull is all the incentive they need.

    Thomas Hollern: I hope Swansea can win today, just to make the last couple of games more interesting.

    Swansea City have never won a home league game against Everton - and there's never been a better time to start.

    Paul Clement has done an extremely good job to give a dispirited squad some hope after the - in football terms - catastrophic spell under Bob Bradley.

    However, you still feel that they might need to squeeze every last point from their remaining games against Everton, Sunderland and West Brom.

    It might just be a good time to play Everton, whose primary target of qualifying for Europe has been achieved and for whom a top-four place is no longer realistically attainable.

    Their season has been one of great promise, and with more money in the bank and a new stadium on the architects' drawing board, it's no wonder Ronald Koeman wants to stick around.

    Here's how the bottom six is shaping up after today's results so far.

    A win for Swansea would take them out of the drop zone...

    I'm sure Ronald Koeman wants the Barcelona job eventually, but not now. He is building something at Everton and I'm sure he wants to continue to oversee this project. 

    The Toffees will invest in the summer and can push on next season under Koeman.

  7. Seamus signs onpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Swansea v Everton (17:30 BST)

    Some good news for Seamus Coleman after a tough season: he's earned a new five-year deal at Everton.

    The 28-year-old is currently out with a double fracture of his right leg, suffered in the Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Wales.

    He joined the Toffees from Sligo Rovers for £60,000 in January 2009 and has gone on to play 247 games for the club.

    "It is a massive boost and gives me something to fight for," Coleman told the club's website.

  9. The form guidepublished at 17:05 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Swansea v Everton (17:30 BST)

    Swansea could go three league games without defeat for the first time this season and could also secure their first back-to-back home wins since May 2016. They beat Stoke last time out. 

    However, they do have the league's worst defensive record, conceding 69 goals so far.

    Everton, meanwhile, are winless in six away matches and have only two victories on the road in the last 15 games.

    They come to the Liberty Stadium off the back of a 3-0 defeat by Chelsea.

    Swansea's players will see this result and feel that the pressure now switches entirely to them. Can the Swans' 11 men step up?

    For Everton it's two changes.

    Ross Barkley and Enner Valencia have been dropped to the bench, Gareth Barry and Kevin Mirallas start instead.

    We might have already had the two largest roars at the Liberty Stadium today and neither have anything to do with the action here.

    The two Sunderland goals - especially Billy Jones' opener - were cheered to the rafters by the Swansea faithful. They have just been given the ultimate gift, putting their destiny back in their own hands. 

    A specially assembled fanzone outside the ground celebrated the full time whistle like Swansea had just won the Premier League. Hope springs eternal in South Wales, with Paul Clement's team talk now done.

    Swansea v Everton (17:30 BST)

    Now then...this is big news.

    Hull have lost 2-0 against already-relegated Sunderland, which means a win for Swansea today will take them out of the relegation zone for the first time since March.

    No pressure, lads. 

    Everton are guaranteed a top-seven finish and therefore a European place. A win today will take them above Arsenal into sixth - at least until tomorrow when the Gunners play Man United.

    Swansea make one change from the side that impressed at Old Trafford last time out, with Martin Olsson's thrust going forward giving him the edge over Stephen Kingsley, who drops to the bench. 

    Everton make two changes after being mauled by Chelsea and arguably both will make them harder to beat, with Gareth Barry's defensive nous preferred to Ross Barkley's attacking guile and Kevin Miralles displacing striker Enner Valencia.

    It feels like there should be some dramatic music playing as we build up to this game, given its importance to Swansea.

    Maybe a Bond theme would work?
