'Swansea a great side to watch this season'

[Getty Images] Vitor Matos has led Swansea City to the top of the Championship table in the first international break and there is a real sense that this could be the season the Welsh side could return to the top flight after nearly a decade away. From their opening eight games in the league, they have five wins, two draws and just one defeat and they sit two points clear of favourites West Ham. When you look at the Swansea team, there is a real mix of youth and experience and they look strong all over the pitch. Last season's top scorer in the league, Zan Vipotnik, hasn't really got going, but it's not hindered the Swans' progress with others in the frontline getting the goals to fire them to early success. Matos worked with Jurgen Klopp and you can see the hallmarks of that kind of style with a fast pressing team who are up and at their opponents from the get-go. Make no mistake though, they can mix it up too as they showed at the weekend when they had to battle and come from behind at Lincoln City to seal their latest victory. It's been a while since a Welsh side graced the top flight and maybe just maybe that could change this season if Matos and co can continue and build on their great start to the campaign. Whatever happens, one thing is for sure - Swansea are going to be a great side to watch this season.
