• Fixture: Swansea vs Derby
• Date: Tuesday, 25 November 2025
• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT
• Venue: Swansea.com Stadium

Swansea's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with three losses on the bounce preceded by a draw and a win. They'll be looking to build on that win against Norwich, but it won't be easy against a Derby side that's been in fine fettle. Swansea's attack, led by the likes of Eom and Idah, will need to be sharp to break down Derby's solid backline. If they can find their rhythm early, they might just nick it, but it'll be a tough ask.

Derby, on the other hand, has been on a roll, with four wins in their last five games. Their confidence will be sky-high coming into this one, and they'll fancy their chances of continuing their winning streak. With players like Ward and Clark pulling the strings in midfield, and a potent attack featuring Brereton Díaz and Weimann, they'll look to control the game and hit Swansea on the break. It's shaping up to be a cracking contest, but Derby's form suggests they might just have the edge.

Swansea's recent form has been a mixed bag, with three losses preceded by a draw and a win. The losses to Bristol City, Ipswich, and Preston will be a concern, but the draw against Charlton and the win over Norwich show they can still compete. They'll need to find consistency if they're to get a result against Derby. The attacking trio of Eom, Ronald, and Idah will be crucial, and if they can click, Swansea might just pull off an upset.

• Loss: 1-4 vs Ipswich (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Preston (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Charlton (A)

• Win: 2-1 vs Norwich (H)

Derby have been in scintillating form, winning four of their last five games. The only blip was a narrow loss to Watford, but was after wins against Blackburn, Hull City, Sheffield Utd, and QPR. This run of form will give them a huge boost going into the Swansea game. With a solid defence and a potent attack, they'll be confident of continuing their winning streak and putting pressure on Swansea from the off.

• Loss: 2-3 vs Watford (H)

However, Derby will be confident of turning the tables given their current form.

Swansea's predicted lineup suggests a focus on attacking play, with Eom, Ronald, and Idah leading the charge. Their recent form indicates they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal to overcome Derby's solid defence.

• Predicted lineup: Widell Zetterström (GK), Clarke (DF), Sanderson (DF), Langås (DF), Ward (MF), Adams (MF), Clark (MF), Elder (MF), Brereton Díaz (MT), Agyemang (MT), Weimann (AT)

• Ronald vs Sondre Langås: Ronald's pace and movement will be a handful for Langås, who will need to be at his best to keep the Swansea forward quiet.

• Marko Stamenic vs Ebou Adams: Stamenic's creativity in midfield will be crucial for Swansea, but he'll have his work cut out against the tenacious Adams.

• Adam Idah (Swansea): Idah's goal-scoring prowess makes him a key player for Swansea, and he'll be looking to add to his tally against Derby.

• Joe Ward (Derby): Ward's versatility and work rate in midfield make him a vital cog in Derby's machine, and he'll be key to their chances of victory.
