The swans take on the Latics at the swansea.com stadium this afternoon with an opportunity for Russell Martin to introduce more pace and flair in to his starting line up. Wigan boss Leam Richardson ( below) is under pressure from the Wigan support with his team in the bottom three. Swansea City are in eighth after Preston’s away win at Reading last night.

TEAM NEWS is here -

Swansea City: Steven Benda, Nathan Wood, Ben Cabango, Joel Latibeaudiere (captain); Armstrong Oko-Flex, Jay Fulton, Ollie Cooper, Ryan Manning; Luke Cundle, Joel Piroe; Michael Obafemi.

Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Harry Darling, Olivier Ntcham, Jamie Paterson, Fin Stevens, Kyle Naughton, Matty Sorinola.

Wigan Athletic: Jamie Jones, Will Keane, Jack Whatmough, James McClean, Tndayi Darikwa (captain), Charlie Wyke, Curtis Tilt, Max Power, Nathan Broadhead, Jason Kerr, Tom Naylor.

Substitutes: Sam Tickle, Callum Lang Joe Bennett, Josh Magennis, Graeme Shinnie, Jordan Cousins, Thelo Aasgaard.

Swansea City have been looking towards more effectiveness from set pieces this week in training, an area that has improved of late. Armstrong Oko-Flex has looked more involved in training patterns although the main concerns are the absence of Matt Grimes and filling his role in the centre of midfield. Wigan will settle for a point from this one, no doubt.
