Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal set to make changes for FA Cup tie with Sheffield Wednesday after insisting he won't risk their Premier League status

Carlos Carvalhal insists he will not risk Swansea's Premier League status for FA Cup glory.

Carvalhal has extra motivation in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday as he makes a swift return to Sheffield Wednesday - the club where he spent two-and-a-half-years before departing on Christmas Eve.

Victory would also secure Swansea's first quarter-final in the competition since 1964, but manager Carvalhal has promised to rest several first-team regulars ahead of key relegation battles in the Premier League.
