Paul Clement: 'Wilfried Bony, Tammy Abraham could both start against West Ham'

Clement: 'Bony, Abraham could start'

Swansea City head coach Paul Clement has hinted at a change in strategy for the club's trip to West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.

The Welsh outfit have registered just one point and one goal from their last three fixtures, with their most recent outing being a 2-1 defeat to Watford at the Liberty Stadium.

However, Clement was encouraged with the second-half partnership of Wilfried Bony and Tammy Abraham, and the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich coach has admitted that the pair could potentially be used in tandem at the London Stadium.

The 45-year-old told reporters: "Our best football against Watford was with Tammy Abraham and Wilfried Bony up front, and Jordan Ayew in behind. It's an option.

"We are defending better than we are attacking at the moment. I fully believe we will improve."

Abraham has netted twice from six league games since moving to Swansea, while Bony is yet to score in three outings since rejoining the club from Manchester City.
