They have not been able to shut teams out in terms of keeping a clean sheet. Fresh off a seven-game winning streak however, Vicente Moreno’s team are ensuring that they remain untouchable in the title run-in.
4. Swansea
They have the best defense in the Championship. Having kept 13 clean sheets in their last 23 league games, the Swans are in a perfect place to face their FA Cup opponents, Stevenage.
It’s a first-time between both sides, with the bookies backing Swansea to win this one. As favorites, the magic of the cup, and how anything can happen in football, won’t be totally lost on the side fighting for Premier League promotion this season.
