Palace boss Warnock big fan of opponents Swansea

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock is a big fan of today's opponents Swansea City.

Last season, the Eagles secured a 1-1 draw but the south Wales outfit have continued to play an impressive brand of football, stemming up from the days of when Roberto Martinez was manager.

"I think they are the best side I've seen this year," Warnock told the Croydon Advertiser.

"I saw them against Arsenal recently and they absolutely destroyed them. I know they won 2-1 but they were brilliant on the day, so I know how difficult it's going to be for us.

"After the Liverpool game, though, we go there in good spirits. Garry is a nice bloke and he was a nice, genuine player.

"He knows the situation there and knows all the players, and because of that he's fitted in well.

"He has signed one or two players who have really gelled superbly. Wilfried Bony is different class too and has fitted in to the Premier League."
