Team News

Swansea
Sunderland
  • Michael Duff could opt for an unchanged starting XI on Saturday following a composed performance against Blackburn.
  • Summer signing Mykola Kukharevych is a doubt for this game, while six players are confirmed absentees.
  • Tony Mowbray will avoid sweeping changes this weekend but could recall striker Mason Burstow.
  • Attacking midfielder Adil Aouchiche is the latest name to join the Sunderland injury list.

Prediction

  • A first-half goal from Liam Cullen proved enough to beat Jon Dahl Tomasson's Blackburn side last weekend as Swansea emerged from Ewood Park with all three points and a clean sheet. The Welsh club had suffered back-to-back league defeats, but are now heading in the right direction once again.
  • Sunderland put an end to their losing streak when they welcomed Norwich to the Stadium of Light last Saturday, scoring three times after going behind to seal a 3-1 home win. Tony Mowbray's side went into that game off the back of three straight league defeats, meaning their latest win only moves them as high as eighth place.
