Swansea v Newcastle Barclays Premier League Preview 2nd March 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,2nd March 2013, One of the important match Swansea v Newcastle of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Liberty Stadium streaming is available here.Swansea v Newcastle Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Stadium of Light on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Swansea fans will have been basking in the afterglow of their Wembley success, but Welsh sport as a whole can't have had too many weekends like that.There was a win in Rome over Italy for the Six Nations rugby boys and in Minsk, where I was, the star of the track cycling World Championships was a 21-year-old from Abergavenny. Becky James won two gold and two bronze medals to become the first Briton to win four medals at a single World Championships, ensuring the sport has a new star.Perhaps not surprisingly, the hotel bar over there wasn't showing the Swansea-Bradford final, so we toasted Becky's success while following a stream of updates on our phones.
This will be Swansea's first outing since the 5-0 Wembley win and there'll be a tremendous atmosphere before the game, but the reality of the Premier League will soon kick in against a seemingly resurgent Newcastle. Alan Pardew's side have won three of their last four league matches, including a 3-2 home win over Chelsea and a 4-2 victory over Southampton last time out, to lift them six points clear of the relegation zone.
A 2-1 success at Aston Villa just over a month ago is their only away win of the season so far, but this is a team playing with renewed purpose and there wasn't much in it in my opinion when they lost at Tottenham the other week.
Ninth-placed Swansea will be looking to do the double over Newcastle and victory here will take them to 40 points already.
Their home record is solid, with only two defeats in the league at the Liberty so far this season, and Swansea's last three games have all featured five goals. Given the attacking nature of both of these teams, we could well be in for a decent game.  

Team News:
Ki Sung-yueng looks poised to return to Swansea's midfield, having played in defence in the League Cup final.
That means Kyle Bartley or Garry Monk will pair up with Ashley Williams at centre-back. Michel Vorm is likely to return in goal if he gets over the flu.
Newcastle skipper Fabricio Coloccini is a doubt with a back injury, so Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa could deputise.
Winger Hatem Ben Arfa may feature for the first time since suffering a torn hamstring on 10 December.

Head-to-head
Swansea are bidding to do the double over the Magpies, having won 2-1 at St James' Park in November.
This is their 31st league meeting. Newcastle have dominated, winning 18 to Swansea's nine.
