Chris Brunt has said that Albion "owe" Swansea City one and will be keen to turn the tables on the South Wales side this weekend.

The captain believes Swansea, who sit level on points with Albion in the Premier League, are a good side but that the Baggies must do better after suffering three straight defeats to them.

"I think Swansea are a good side," Brunt told the club's official website. "We haven't done very well against them in recent seasons either.

"It's going to be a tough game but one we'd obviously like to build on after the good result we had against Sunderland at The Hawthorns.

"We owe Swansea one as well from the last three results against them. They're a good side and we saw down there this season they blew us away inside about 20 minutes. It's going to be a difficult game."

Steve Clarke's side lost 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium in November and 2-1 in the corresponding home game last term, with Swansea also running out comfortable 3-0 winners in the earlier match in that season.

Clarke will hope the return of Romelu Lukaku, who scored Albion's goal in the November defeat, bolsters his side's chances of getting a result.

"It's good to have Romelu back," he added.

"He's been in a really good run of form and hopefully he can pick up where he left off."
