Both sides gave injury concerns, the Swans are hopeful that Harry Darling will start and that will shore up the defence for this game.

Teams are in -

Sunderland: Anthony Patterson, Jobe Bellingham, Luke O'Nien (captain), Nazariy Rusyn, Abdoullah Ba, Jenson Seelt, Dan Neil, Callum Styles, Trai Hume, Leo Hjelde, Pierre Ekwah.

Substitutes: Nathan Bishop, Timothee Pembele, Hemir, Mason Burstow, Romaine Mundle, Adil Aouchiche, Chris Rigg, Caden Kelly, Thomas Lavery.

Swansea City: Carl Rushworth, Ben Cabango, Joe Allen, Matt Grimes (captain), Jamie Paterson, Josh Tymon, Przemyslaw Placheta, Liam Cullen, Nathan Wood, Kyle Naughton, Ronald.

Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Jay Fulton, Harry Darling, Jerry Yates, Charlie Patino, Mykola Kuharevich, Charles Sagoe Jr, Ollie Cooper, Filip Lissah.

Jack Clarke is out today, his thirty three games this season have yielded fifteen goals and four assists. Corry Evans has a cruciate ligament injury so he has a long lay off ahead of him. The Swans have their usual long term injuries to contend with. Josh Ginnelly and Sam Parker now out for the season. Azeem Abdulai is training as is Josh Key, but it seems next weekend is a more sensible game to target for a return. Jamal Lowe is also close to a return. Things are looking brighter for Luke Williams after a bad start to his Swansea reign.

Team news will appear here at 2pm UK time.
