Southend are absolutely suffocating teams at home right now and Swansea won't know what's hit them. That midfield is getting overrun — Swansea can't build anything through the middle against this lot. Amara keeps a clean sheet, job done, three points stay in Essex.

Southend's forward line carries a weight Swansea simply aren't equipped to handle tonight, and with the home crowd advantage folding neatly into Grabara's runs in behind, I expect Swansea's defensive shape to buckle before the hour mark. Ndong in goal will be kept busy, and I suspect he'll make one save that looks impressive but ultimately can't hold back the tide. Swansea generate roughly a fifth of the attacking threat Southend do here — that's not a game, that's a training exercise with consequences.
