Swansea City v Palace

Liberty Stadium, Saturday 12.45pm

Darren Ambrose

Team news

New striker Jermaine Easter is available for selection for Saturday's clash after signing for an undisclosed fee from MK Dons today (Friday).

Midfield duo Darren Ambrose (groin) and Alex Marrow (ankle) should both be fit to play after sitting out last Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Coventry.

Swansea skipper Gary Monk is sidelined after the defender injured knee ligaments in the FA Cup win over Colchester Utd.

Left-back Neil Taylor is out with an ankle injury, while right-back Angel Rangel is a doubt after picking up a knock in training. Defender Alan Tate returns from a ban.

Quotes

David Wright

"That game [the 3-0 loss to Swansea] at Selhurst hurt the team a lot and we do not want a repeat of that experience. It was a bad day. We gave away a really sloppy early goal and just never recovered.

"When you go behind early on it is always difficult, especially against a good passing team like Swansea.

"They were able to just sit back and pick us off. We never got started in the first 20 minutes, something that has happened more than once this season, and something we are working on.

"We have got to make sure we are switched on right from the whistle otherwise it will be a very tough game.

"But over the next few days Dougie will come up with a plan of action and will be drilling that into us on the training ground. It's then up to us to take those instructions out onto the pitch and make sure we come away with the points."
