    A first win in seven would really ease some of the pressure on Swansea manager Russell Martin.

    He will be delighted with what he's seen today.

    GOAL - Swansea City 2-0 Bristol Citypublished at 77 mins

    Olivier Ntcham

    Surely that's it!

    Bristol City don't clear Ryan Manning's cross and Olivier Ntcham shows good control and wrong-foots the goalkeeper.

    Swansea have the cushion they deserve.

    Olivier Ntcham shoots from distance, but Max O'Leary makes the save.

    Swansea could be out of sight.

    Former Swansea striker on BBC Radio Wales

    At 1-0 you just never know. There's a lot more to play for in this game. I just get this feeling now that if there's nobody up top, the only thing I can think about Liam Cullen coming off is, is he injured?

    Fine footwork from Jamie Patterson, but his shot hits the side-netting.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 71 mins

    Swansea City 1-0 Bristol City

    Ollie Cooper replaces Liam Walsh and Morgan Whittaker is on for Luke Cundle.

    Attacking changes really, Swansea not settling for 1-0.

    In the words of Fred Thursday, "the less said..."

    Swansea have pressed on in this second half, looking to double their lead rather than defend their slender advantage.

    But while the score remains 1-0, Bristol City are right in this.

    Swansea must find a way to ensure the last quarter of this game does not turn into a desperate attempt to cling on for victory.

    Ben Cabango appears to handle in the penalty area, but Swansea get away with it.

    A credible penalty shout is waved away.

    Liam Walsh has played well to be fair to him. I think if it wasn't for his injury during pre-season, Swansea would've been happy to see him leave, they didn't believe he has the legs to play Championship football week in week out but to be fair to him he's looked good today.

    Omar Taylor-Clarke forces Andy Fisher to save his powerful shot.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 60 mins

    Swansea City 1-0 Bristol City

    Andreas Weimann was introduced at half-time, but the change of shape has not buoyed the visitors.

    They now send on Anis Mehmeti for Harry Cornick, while Jamie Patterson is on for Liam Cullen for the hosts.

    With the diamond system Swansea are playing with, it leaves Bristol City with a lot of space in their attacking play so either Joel Piroe, Liam Cullen or one the midfielders must track back.

    Swansea City 1-0 Bristol City

    Frustrating for Bristol City.

    As at Cardiff a couple of weeks ago, they've come to face a Welsh side in poor form and have failed to take the game to them.

    Heading for the same result too.

  20. CLOSE!published at 51 mins

    A corner flashes across the face of goal, somehow no Swansea player is able to get a touch to turn it home.
