Swans looking for 8th place. Cottagers looking for the beach...
Swansea v Fulham
Sunday, 19th May, 16:00 GMT
Laudrup's been a revelation since taking over from Brendan Rodgers. Jol must re-build: root and branch stuff...
It's been a tremendous first season for Michael Laudrup at Swansea.
The once-phenomenal footballer is now learning his managerial trade, and is making a fine name for himself, with much bigger clubs watching the Dane's progress with interest.
A piece of silverware in the cabinet and a top-ten finish can't be bad.
Today, Laudrup and his Swans entertain a Fulham side far removed from these kind of heroics.
They just want this season over.
Martin Jol has injury headaches, with Simon Davies and Mahamadou Diarra missing for the visitors. Add Steve Sidwell (suspended) into the mix and it could be a long afternoon for the Cottagers.
It looks likely that Laudrup will name an unchanged side from the one that very nearly spoiled Sir Alex's farewell party at Old Trafford last week: the Swans playing some excellent stuff. Both goalie Michel Vorm and midfielder Ki Sung-Yeung are certain absentees.
Home win? We certainly think so...
