Swansea City v Stoke City

Swansea captain Jack Cork is ruled out for a second game because of an ankle injury sustained at West Ham.

Wayne Routledge may need surgery on a hernia complaint and Fernando Llorente is a doubt, but Leon Britton could feature for the first time this year.

Jon Walters is in contention to start for Stoke despite not training this week due to fluid on his knee.

Joe Allen and Glenn Whelan are set to return from respective hamstring and back injuries.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

John Roder: "In describing this match as 'must win' immediately after the defeat at Watford, Paul Clement has set Swansea up for what is almost certainly their biggest fixture since the Championship play-off final in 2011.
