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.
