Head2Head & Early Team News - Swansea City (A)

The Swans will be looking to up the anti and kick on towards the automatic promotion spots after a 5-0 thumping of Carlisle last weekend, while for Alan Knill and his squad it's still very much about survival at the other end of the table for the time being.

Danger: Fallon & Trundle

Home manager Kenny Jackett has a few returning players to his side, whilst Knill is just the opposite as he's presented with an injury headache.

One positive for the Millers is left winger and key man Andy Robinson sits out a one game ban for the home side, but Jackett is set to welcome back Tom Williams and Thomas Butler from hernia and hamstring injuries respectively.
Leon Knight is on loan just up the road at Barnsley.

Marcus Painter has extended his loan from Birmingham which was due to run out last weekend, whilst Sylvain Meslien has been given a one month deal. The 26-year-old Frenchman faces competition from Painter for the left-back slot. Owain Tudor Jones has seen a specialist in America and is a long term casualty with a major knee injury.

Last time out for the Swans v Carlisle:

Gueret, Austin, Tate, Lawrence, Painter (Meslien 86), Britton, Pratley, Robinson, Craney, Trundle, Fallon.

Subs Not Used: Oakes, Akinfenwa, Amankwaah, Iriekpen.

Booked: Robinson.

Goals: Lawrence 8, Fallon 15, Robinson 27, Pratley 59, Fallon 62.

Injury headache

Onto ourselves and Knilly must do without Colin Murdock, who limped off at Cheltenham with a thigh injury, but he hopes Pablo Mills will be fit to return to the centre of defence and will travel with the squad. If not then David Worrell will be pushed inside and Scott Wiseman comes in at right back.

Lee Williamson has started running on his broken toe but is still a week or so away from full training, while Ryan Taylor may have seen his season end with glandular fever. Michael Keane is still absent after pulling up again in training two weeks ago.

As always we'll have post match reacton this weekend, with Swansea having turned on their undersoil heating the game should be fine to go ahead.
