Portugal midfielder Renato Sanches is likely to make his Swansea debut at home to Newcastle on Sunday.

Sanches, signed on a season-long loan from Bayern Munich, arrived in south Wales on Thursday after international duty, but fellow deadline day signing Wilfried Bony has to build up his fitness levels and he could be among the substitutes.

Key match stats (supplied by Opta)

Swansea have won three of their last four home Premier League games against Newcastle (D1) since losing their first in April 2012 under Brendan Rodgers.

Newcastle won their last league meeting with the Swans, a 3-0 victory in April 2016 which was Rafael Benitez’s first win in charge of the Magpies.

Rafael Benítez won his 500th point as a Premier League manager on MD3 with a win over West Ham United, becoming the ninth different boss to reach this landmark.

Since Paul Clement took over as Swansea City manager on January 3rd 2017, the Swans have won as many Premier League games (10) as Manchester United coming in to this matchday.

The Swans are yet to lose back-to-back home Premier League games under Paul Clement – his previous two home defeats have been followed by victories, against Southampton in January and Stoke in April. Clement has never lost consecutive home league games as a manager.

The last time the sides met in the Premier League, Newcastle won 3-0 at St James' Park 

Indeed, Swansea haven’t lost their opening two home league games of a season since the 1985/86 campaign.

Swansea have had just 27 touches in the opposition penalty area so far this season; the fewest by a Premier League side.

Newcastle’s starting XI has had an average age of 25 years and 190 days old this season; the youngest in the Premier League.

Tammy Abraham has scored 24 league goals since the start of 2016-17; the highest scoring player under the age of 21 in the top four tiers over this period.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has had a hand in seven goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances for Newcastle United (five goals, two assists).
