Team News: Swansea City unchanged for Crystal Palace clash

Swansea City manager Bob Bradley names an unchanged XI for a crucial relegation six-pointer with Crystal Palace.

Swansea City manager Bob Bradley has named an unchanged XI for their crucial match with fellow strugglers Crystal Palace this afternoon.

The American manager keeps faith with the XI that were denied a vital win against Everton by Seamus Coleman's 89th-minute equaliser last weekend.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is joined by Modou Barrow and Wayne Routledge on the front line of a 4-3-3 formation, while a fit-again Jefferson Montero is named among the substitutes.

The unchanged back four sees Jordi Amat and Federico Fernandez at the heart of the defence, with Neil Taylor on the left and Kyle Naughton on the right.

Meanwhile, Alan Pardew makes one change to the side that lost 2-1 to Manchester City last time out as he looks to arrest an alarming run of five straight league defeats.

That sees Connor Wickham preferred to Andros Townsend as partner for Christian Benteke after the former came off the bench to score in his last two league games for the Eagles.

Wayne Hennessey keeps his place between the sticks as first choice Steve Mandanda continues his recovery from a knee injury.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Taylor; Fulton, Cork, Fer; Barrow, Sigurdsson, Routledge
Subs: Nordfeldt, Rangel, Van der Hoorn, Dyer, Montero, McBurnie, Llorente

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Tomkins, Kelly; Cabaye, McArthur, Puncheon, Zaha; Benteke, Wickham
Subs: Speroni, Delaney, Fryers, Ledley, Townsend, Sako, Campbell
