Swansea city take a magnificent support to QPR today for this sky bet championship encounter which will most certainly test the ability of the squad to push on upwards towards the play offs.

Swansea City supporters will applaud on the fifty eight minute of todays game in a celebration of the life of Sean O’Regan who died this week, he was in the away end last week at Sunderland.

Team news is in

Swansea City: Steven Benda; Joel Latibeaudiere, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Ryan Manning; Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain), Joe Allen, Ollie Cooper; Liam Cullen, Joel Piroe.

Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Olivier Ntcham, Luke Cundle, Nathan Wood, Kyle Naughton, Matty Sorinola, Cameron Congreve.

Queens Park Rangers: Seny Dieng, Jimmy Dunne, Rob Dickie, Lyndon Dykes, Ilias Chair, Tyler Roberts, Sam Field (captain), Jamal Lowe, Kenneth Paal, Ethan Laird, Tim Iroegbunam,

Substitutes: Jordan Archer, Osman Kakay, Jake Clarke-Salter, Stefan Johansen, Chris Willock, Andre Dozzell, Albert Adomah.

With 2,400 supporters in the away meet the swans won’t be able to complain about the lack of support with well over two thousand travelling to games in recent times to Reading and 1,650 for a night game at Coventry City the fixture before Christmas, traditionally a time when attendances are low. Again today the away end will be full, and the atmosphere will be electric. The FA Cup away tie at Bristol City again sold out with another estimated 2,600 selling out the away end allocation.

Swansea fans will see Morgan Whittaker in the squad line up after a week of speculation regards his potential move to Glasgow Rangers. ( Latest ** Withdrawn by the manager at 1pm ) Michael Obafemi won’t feature due to his continued lack of form brought about by his self motivation to leave the club. We call it downing tools, you can call it what you like. Surprisingly Jamie Paterson has featured positively in training patterns this week signalling a possible bench start for him. He too wants away but clubs seem reluctant to take on a player who has a history of poor behaviour at Swansea.

Positively Joel Piroe will start after finding his goal scoring boots of late as will Ollie Cooper who scored at Sunderland last weekend and again against Bristol City on Tuesday. Both supply a goal threat but the swans really will have to make the most of their chances in this fixture. Steven Benda will make a return in goal today and the midfield of Matt Grimes, Joe Allen and Jay Fulton picks itself if all three report fit before the game.

We reported on QPR earlier in the day here –>
