Team News

Swansea
Sunderland
  • Kyle Bartley has returned from suspension, but Gylfi Sigurdsson is still banned following his dismissal in the FA Cup defeat at Blackburn.
  • Wayne Routledge and Marvis Emnes are both sidelined through injury, while Jefferson Montero, Leon Britton and Modou Barrow are doubts, though Montero could be available to start on the right.
  • Jay Fulton is expected to keep his place in midfield after an impressive showing against Saints.
  • Lee Cattermole is definitely ruled out for the Black Cats, who may also be without trio Jack Rodwell, Connor Wickham and Adam Johnson.
  • Jermain Defoe is expected to lead the attack once more, with Steven Fletcher and Danny Graham forced to settle for a place on the bench.
  • Ricky Alvarez netted in the FA Cup win over Fulham in midweek and could be rewarded with a start here.

Prediction

  • Swansea bounced back from their humiliating 5-0 home defeat to Chelsea with a surprise 1-0 win over Southamton at St. Mary's on Sunday. The Swans have never lost a home game against Sunderland, so will be confident of a positive result here.
  • Sunderland are now unbeaten in their last 3, though 2 of those were in the FA Cup against Fulham. The Black Cats have lost their last 2 league games away from home, however.
  • The Swans have lost only 3 times at the Liberty Stadium in the Premier League all season, so expected Garry Monk's side to secure back-to-back league wins.
