Sports Mole previews this Saturday's Premier League clash between Swansea City and Tottenham Hotspur.

With a place in next season's Champions League campaign at stake, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to overcome their recent slump in the Premier League when they take on Swansea City.

Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas will take his side to the Liberty Stadium on the back of two defeats in the top flight, their most recent being a 1-0 loss to Fulham courtesy of a goal by former Spurs player Dimitar Berbatov.

The Portuguese boss has confirmed that winger Gareth Bale, who has netted 12 goals in 13 matches for club and country, is "fine" in terms of fitness following his excursions with the Wales national team.

For the home side, manager Michael Laudrup has had an inconsistent period with his team, claiming just two victories in their last six fixtures, their last win coming against Newcastle United on March 2.

Swansea will remain in ninth if they secure a victory on home turf, while Spurs could leapfrog Chelsea into third place if they fail to get a result against Southampton.
