Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal says their home form can keep them in the Premier League.

The Swans are back in the relegation zone after going a seventh Premier League game without a win following the 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday.

They now have two homes games left to save themselves, starting with a huge clash against relegation rivals Southampton on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports, before already-relegated Stoke visit on Sunday.

Bournemouth 1-0 Swansea

Defeat against the Saints would mean only goal difference could save the Swans but, since Carvalhal took over at the end of 2017, only Tottenham and Chelsea have won at the Liberty in the Premier League - with Spurs also pulling off an FA Cup win in Wales.

Reflecting on the Bournemouth defeat, Carvalhal said: "After a game that we lose, everyone is sad of course, but we will react and Tuesday, we must be at the top.

"This is the main point, and they know about that. They know they must react very fast. Since we arrive, all the games we play at home, we perform really well. All of them.

"Possibly the (FA) cup game against Tottenham was the game that was hard for us. All the others, we dominated and were better than our opponents.

"Even Chelsea, if you saw the game you can see we dominated the game and we could achieve much more. I don't have any reason to doubt we can do it on Tuesday.

"My players will give the maximum, the fans will give the maximum and, when we play in Liberty, usually we are a strong team. And it is our plan to be a strong team on Tuesday."
