It is a run which has taken Swansea four points above the drop zone, but Guidolin admits to a sense of frustration over his first few weeks at the Liberty Stadium.

Guidolin says he has been working hard on the training ground to remedy a set-piece problem which has seen the three goals conceded during his tenure all come from corners.
“But I don’t think if we have three, four, five or six points now it is so different”. “You have to be strong, but above all you have to be focused”.
“It is not a question of power or strength”.
“Of course, we changed the system and that gives the boys a little bit more sureness behind and the comeback of Fraser Forster has been a big boost to the team”.
Graziano Pelle thought he had put the visitors ahead but his goal was disallowed for a foul on Lukasz Fabianksi by Jose Fonte.
Guidolin said: “It could be, but I don’t want to speak about penalty, but my culture is not to speak about referee”. “I am not a magician”. Here are FIVE things the Swansea faithful need to know about their new midfielder… Leroy Fer will be hoping to make his Swansea debut following his deadline-day move from QPR.
Swansea have 27 points from 25 matches and Guidolin believes a point on average from the last 13 games will secure their top-flight status.
Young Left-Back, Matt Targett will be available after he was absent in the 1-0 win against West Ham. “In my opinion, that red card was totally different to the second yellow, for example, against Norwich”.
“I am happy with my team, but I would be more happy if we had won last week”, Guidolin said.
They have only lost one of their last five league games at home (W2, D2). “His intention is to play the ball but it was his third one and he has to learn”.
Last Meeting: The first half sending off of Wilfried Bony was key to deciding the outcome in Southampton’s favour in September 2014 as they continued their strong start to last season.
