Swansea boss Paul Clement faces sack if Premier League strugglers lose to Crystal Palace
Monday's defeat at Everton made it eight losses in the past ten games for the relegation-threatened south Wales side

But now it looks like Cthe 45-year-old may be given the boot before then if he fails to mastermind a result against Roy Hodgson's men on Saturday.
The Swans' 3-1 defeat at Goodison on Monday was their eighth defeat in their past ten games.
And now the say that should that trend continue then Clement is under ";significant threat" of losing his job.
However, in his favour is the fact the club's hierarchy have only just started to lose faith.
