Swansea City has not won a single game since their opening day victory over newly-promoted side Burnley. Their 11-game winless streak is the longest for any club this season and they will have the opportunity to snap it against Crystal Palace, who are currently on a five-game losing slide.

The Swans are coming off a 1-1 draw with reeling contenders Everton on the road at the Goodison Park last Saturday, as per the Independent.

Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson opened the scoring in the 41st minute of the match for head coach Bob Bradley's side with a penalty kick off a foul from Everton defender Phil Jagielka.

It looked like a win for the Swans as time ran out in the contest, but Irish defender Seamus Coleman was able to find the equalizer with a header one minute left before full time.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace dropped its fifth straight match after losing to contending team Manchester City, 1-2, at their own home field of Selhurst Park last Saturday, ESPN reported.

Ivorian midfielder Yaya Touré returned in City starting XI to score a brace and help hand Palace their seventh loss in the season. Touré broke the game's deadlock in the 39th minute and also scored the winning goal in the 83rd.

Palace striker Connor Wickham was able to level the count in the 66th minute as he scored the Eagles' only goal in the match.

With the loss, head coach Alan Pardew's squad dropped to the 16th spot in the overall standings, tied on points with Middlesbrough and West Ham United and only a point above the bottom three relegation area.

Prediction and Predicted Lineup

The predicted result is a close 2-1 victory by Crystal Palace.

Swansea starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Taylor; Cork, Fulton, Fer; Barrow, Sigurdsson, Routledge

Crystal Palace starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Tomkins, Kelly; Cabaye, McArthur; Zaha, Puncheon, Townsend; Benteke
