Bob Bradley bids to shore up leaky Swansea defence

Under-fire manager Bob Bradley accepts Swansea will be relegated if they continue to defend as they have done during his two months in charge.

Swansea head into a crunch clash with fellow strugglers Sunderland at the Liberty Stadium today with statistically the worst defence in the Premier League.

The Welsh club have conceded a league-high total of 31 goals — 19 of those coming in the seven games Bradley has overseen since succeeding Francesco Guidolin at the start of October.
