28 February 2013 10:32 Moussa Sissoko styles as Newcastle United's key man as Alan Pardew's part aim for a third straight win when they travel to Swansea. Whilst the north-east club have won all but among their previous four fittings in the English Premier League, since that win on January 29, Sissoko has served Newcastle United to three more wins across all tournaments. A conquer newly-crowned League Cup champions Swansea on Saturday may see Pardew's men go as high as 10th, depending on different effects. Considering Newcastle United looked at risk of relegation only over a month before, it's been an extraordinary transformation by Pardew and his players with Sissoko and the rest of the club's French connection playing an integral role. Pardew will wish two other members of his French troupe will be fit for the visit to Wales with Yohan Cabaye battling an illness, while Hatem Ben Arfa is anticipated to be ready after over a out with a hamstring injury. A new challenge is faced by swansea manager Michael Laudrup after a week ago leading the Welsh team with their first-ever major prize. Laudrup has to reinvigorate his staff and have them ready for the run home in the Premier League. Swansea have gained just twice in the Premier League this year (3-1 over Stoke and 4-1 against Queens Park Rangers) and slipped to ninth after their 5-0 knocking by Liverpool a couple of weeks before and West Bromwich Albion's 2-1 triumph versus Sunderland over the weekend. With only 10 points separating eighth-placed Liverpool and Sunderland in 15th, Laudrup will know how easily Swansea's period may turn into a slog to prevent relegation, particularly when his players have a rest following their 5-0 make an impression on Bradford City at Wembley. The positive ahead of the visit of Newcastle is that Swansea have just lost two Premier League games at Liberty Stadium in 2010 and have stated a draw and two wins in their three home matches of 2013.
