Swansea City can move into a top 10 spot in the Premier League table with a victory over Champions League chasers Newcastle United.

Swansea City have the chance of moving up into the top 10 of the Premier League table, while Newcastle United can edge closer to fourth spot with a victory at the Liberty Stadium on Friday.

Brendan Rodgers has no fresh injury doubts for the clash this week, which indicates that the manager will start with on-loan midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson and Danny Graham leading the line up front.

Meanwhile, Alan Pardew is expected to start Papiss Cisse following his brace in the Magpies' 2-0 win over Liverpool last weekend.

Demba Ba and Ben Arfa are also likely to feature in the starting XI, while Fabricio Coloccini is expected to remain sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Current form:

Swansea: LWWWLL
Newcastle: DDLWWW

Possible lineups:

Swansea: Vorm; Williams, Taylor, Caulker, Rangel; Sinclair, Britton, Allen, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Graham

Newcastle: Krul; Simpson, Williamson, Perch, Gutierrez; Cabaye, Guthrie, Ben Arfa, Tiote; Ba, Cisse

Sports Mole says: 1-1
