Swansea City (2-1-2, 8 points) and Everton (2-1-2, 8 points) are currently tied in the overall standings and they are set to break it as they clash in a week 6 Saturday match of the 2015-2016 Premier League season at the Liberty Stadium.
The two teams are coming off opposite results in their last games as the Swans succumbed to a 0-1 upset in the hands of newly-promoted club Watford while Everton handed defending champions Chelsea a 3-1 beating in their meeting.
Watford forward Odion Ighalo scored in the second half of their tight encounter to give Garry Monk's side their first loss of the season, as per BBC Sport.
Swansea striker Bafétimbi Gomis tried to immediately answer, but his shot was well saved by Heurelho Gomes in the final minutes.
Meanwhile, Everton thrashed Jose Mourinho's boys amidst controversy regarding the failed transfer of center back John Stones to Stamford Bridge during the summer window deadline, via Heavy.
Substitute forward Steven Naismith scored a hat trick to compound Chelsea's troubles as the Blues' fans began calling for Mourinho's sacking.
The Toffees look to follow-up their superb victory over the Pensioners last Saturday while Swansea would like to bounce back from their disappointing loss against a lowly opponent.
The prediction is a 2-1 conquest for Everton. It will be a highly-entertaining game with lots of chances for both squads, but for now the inspiration of keeping Stones will tide Roberto Martínez's squad through.
Swansea City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Fabianski; Taylor, Williams, Fernández, Naughton; Sigurdsson, Cork; Shelvey, Routledge, Ayew; Gomis
Everton starting lineup (4-3-1-2 formation): Howard; Coleman, Stones, Galloway, Jagielka; McCarthy, Naismith, Barkley; Barry; Koné, Lukaku
