Monk back for Swans

The skipper missed last weekend`s 2-0 victory at Millwall, the club`s first away win in six attempts, with a stomach bug he is expected to be okay this time around.

Fellow defender Albert Serran sustained a minor dead leg having come on as an 82nd-minute substitute at The Den and will be assessed.

Otherwise, manager Brendan Rodgers is expected to have a fully-fit squad at his disposal and will be reluctant to make too many changes as he looks to finish the regular season with momentum going into the play-offs.

Swans can also still close the two-point gap on third-placed Cardiff, who travel to Burnley, while defeat for City and victory for Reading at home to Derby would see the club slip to fifth and face the crucial second leg of their play-off away from the Liberty Stadium.

Winger Scott Sinclair could again start on the bench as Rodgers looks to protect him from burnout, while the Swans boss must also decide whether to reinstate Fabio Borini to his starting XI with the on-loan Chelsea forward also named among the substitutes last Saturday due to an ankle knock.
