Swansea fixtures 2016/17: Burnley away first, Hull, Chelsea and Leicester follow
Our comprehensive guide to all of the 2016/17 fixtures, plus a detailed look at some of the most important games of the season for your club
It was a strange year at Swansea City, last time around.
Initial optimism, generated by some excellent performances against the top clubs on television, soon disappeared once the club found themselves mired in the drop zone.
Garry Monk, hailed as a future England manager in September, was gone before Christmas and in his place came Francesco Guidolin, a relative unknown to South Wales' casual football fan.
What followed was a quiet but impressive clean-up job, as Guidolin steered the Swans well clear of danger with time to spare. By the end of the campaign, a steeliness had returned to Swansea and Guidolin had signed a two-year contract.
Can they carry the momentum forward into 2016/17?
Here are some of the highlights from Swansea’s fixture list to look out for:
First game
Swansea will face Burnley at Turf Moor on the 13 August 2016.
Last game
Swansea will play against West Bromwich Albion at the Liberty Stadium on the 21 May 2017.
Over the festive period
Swansea will play West Ham United (h) on Boxing Day, Bournemouth (h) on 31 December and Crystal Palace (a) on 2 January.
