Swans trio miss out again

Vice-captain Tate serves the final match of his three-game suspension having already sat out of the New Year`s Day victory over Reading and Monday`s defeat at Leicester.

Fellow left-back Taylor has this week been ruled out for a month having received scan results on an ankle injury sustained against the Royals.

Manager Brendan Rodgers could line up as he did at the Walkers Stadium with right-back Angel Rangel switched across to the left and youngster Ashley Richards starting in his place or use Albert Serran in the left-back slot.

Midfielder Orlandi, meanwhile, has been ruled out for around two weeks with a slight thigh strain also sustained in the 1-0 win over Reading, although Rodgers is not short of options in midfield.

After a hectic festive period, whether the Northern Irishman opts to rotate his ranks again for the visit of the League One outfit remains to be seen.
