Free Swansea v West Ham  Stream Free Online Video Of ENGLAND PREMIER LEAGUE Sunday 25th August 2012 Kickoff and Time Table scheduled for 12:45 GMT.There is real optimism at the Liberty Stadium despite the exits of manager Brendan Rodgers and key midfielder Joe Allen to Liverpool in the summer.A big part of that has been the arrival of Rodgers' replacement Michael Laudrup and his contacts in Spain.The Danish coach has been busy in the transfer market and if Michu's brace in the 5-0 thrashing of QPR is anything to go by then the Swans could enjoy another impressive season.While Sam Allardyce likes his teams to take a different approach to the Swansea passing game, the experienced manager has produced some effective sides at Premier League level.The newly-promoted Hammers picked up three points against Aston Villa last weekend and in Carlton Cole and Kevin Nolan they have some robust players capable of causing problems.New arrival Chico Flores is a fitness doubt and will have a late test before officially ruling him out of a first home start.

Another new signing, Kyle Bartley, may be drafted in to replace Chico but experienced duo Alan Tate and Garry Monk could also come into contention.

Club record signing Ki Sung-Yueng will not be included in the squad but Manchester City target Scott Sinclair is set to be involved again.

West Ham United travel to take on Swansea City at White Rock Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hammers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 5 of the 25 games.

The last time the two teams met at Swansea City was more than a decade ago, in January 1999, the Swans carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

Head-to-head

It is 32 years since Swansea's last league win against West Ham, a 2-1 victory in Division Two on 29 March 1980.
The Hammers are unbeaten in their last six league games against the Swans, a run which includes all four previous top-flight encounters.
The last competitive meeting came in an FA Cup third-round replay in January 1999. Swansea (then playing in the fourth tier of English football) beat Premier League West Ham 1-0 through a Martin Thomas goal.
This fixture has not produced a goalless draw since 1937.

Swansea

According to Opta, the Swans scored with five of their six shots on target against QPR.

Last season it took the Welsh side until October to score five Premier League goals.

The 5-0 victory at Loftus Road was the Swans' biggest win in the top flight.

West Ham

Sam Allardyce's men have won their last six competitive games (including last season's play-offs), and are unbeaten in 10. Their last defeat was a 4-2 home loss by Reading on 31 March.

The Hammers won more away games (13) than home games (11) in last season's Championship.

They have lost their last four Premier League away matches. Their most recent away win in the top flight was a 3-1 victory at Blackpool on 2 February 2011.
