Angel Rangel says Swansea's home form must improve

Angel Rangel says it is vital Swansea improve their home form if they want to escape the clutches of the Premier League's relegation zone.

So far this season, the south-Wales side have registered one win and five defeats from their six league games at the Liberty Stadium, a sequence of results that has left them second from bottom in the table.

And skipper Rangel told the club's website: "The Liberty is our home and needs to be a fortress, which we want it to be for the rest of the season.

"If you want to stay in the Premier League, your home form is the most important thing.

"We have had some bad performances at home so far, but we must put them behind us and look to start afresh at the Liberty."

Three of Swansea's next four home games are against teams in the bottom half of the table - Bournemouth, West Brom and Crystal Palace.
