In a season in which they've changed managers and flirted with the relegation spots on numerous occasions, not everything has gone right for Swansea City.

But while the Liberty club are still far from Premier League safety, the statistics show they can at least claim to be the unluckiest team in the top-flight.

Francesco Guidolin's team, alongside West Ham, are the two sides to have struck the woodwork the most times in the current campaign.

The Swans lead the way having hit the post or crossbar a total of 15 times.

It puts them one ahead of the Hammers, who last night dumped Liverpool out of the FA Cup.

And while West Ham have brushed their bad luck aside to challenge for a European spot, it's a different story down in SA1.

Swansea currently find themselves just two places above the drop zone having scored just 24 league goals all season at a ratio of less than one per game.

Their woodwork woes put them at the top of an unwanted list with Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham and Leicester also having regularly been unlucky.

And while it obviously hasn't panned out, if the Swans had had a bit more luck then they perhaps wouldn't be in such a perilous domestic position.

The Swans host Southampton at the Liberty on Saturday as they look to build on a four match unbeaten run under Guidolin.
