This is for the fans - Cooper
Steve Cooper so far has an unbeaten record in the South Wales derby, and his side will certainly have been bouyed by what was an impressive defensive performance against Bournemouth.
The fans might not be in attendance today, but they're certainly in the minds of those in the Swans dressing room heading into this one.
“It will be different in terms of the game and atmosphere.
“They were electric atmospheres last season, as anyone who was there will tell you, so we can’t shy away from it, it is different.
“That’s why you cannot compare with previous seasons or previous games.
“But this is a game that means an awful lot to supporters, it’s one we really want to win and one we want to really commit to and attack.
“It is for the supporters. I want them to see a team working hard and giving their best because football is so important to so many people.
“It will be a perfect chance to give a bit back and we will be committing to that.”
