Probable Swansea City XI
Manager: Graham Potter
Formation: 3-5-2
Erwin Mulder (GK)
Mulder has made the role his own after taking the reins from Nordfeldt and he will continue in goal.
Kyle Naughton (LCB)
Naughton looked good in a three-man defence. He will continue in the same role for this game.
Van Der Hoorn (CB)
Swansea’s leader at the back will play a crucial role in getting them back to the Premier League next season.
Joe Rodon (RCB)
The youngster has made a name for himself under the new manager and will definitely complete the three-man backline for this game.
Conor Roberts (RM)
Roberts scored his first goal of the season in the previous game and looked energetic down the right flank.
Leroy Fer (RCM)
Fer looked impressive after coming on as a substitute in the last game and should start in the middle of the park.
Tom Carroll (CM)
After making a slow start to the season, Carroll is now one of their main distributors in the middle of the park.
Bersant Celina (LCM)
The return of Celina has definitely boosted the Swansea midfield. He has been a fruitful presence for them in the middle of the park.
Jay Fulton (LM)
Fulton picked up the third and final goal in the game against Queens Park Rangers. He will start at left-midfield.
Baker-Richardson (ST)
The 22-year-old scored his first goal of the season and capped off an impressive performance last time out. More of the same will be needed from him in this game.
