Team news

Under-pressure Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew will stick with the same squad that was beaten by Manchester City last time out. Wayne Hennessey will keep his place in goal due to the injured Steve Mandanda (knee).

On-loan striker Loic Remy now has a calf injury after recovering from his thigh problem, while Pape Souare (broken leg) and Jonathan Benteke (knee) are still out.

Swansea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng is sidelined for two weeks with a broken toe but wingers Nathan Dyer and Jefferson Montero are available.

Swansea: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Taylor, Cork, Fulton, Fer, Routledge, Barrow, Sigurdsson, Nordfeldt, Rangel, Van der Hoorn, Mawson, Kingsley, Britton, Dyer, Montero, Llorente, Borja, McBurnie.

Palace: Hennessey, Speroni, Ward, Dann, Tomkins, Delaney, Kelly, Fryers, Flamini, Mutch, Lee, McArthur, Ledley, Cabaye, Puncheon, Zaha, Townsend, Sako, Benteke, Wickham, Campbell.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"This is my ninth Premier League season and I want 10 with Palace," said Pardew, who took over in January 2015.

"A win would make our position look clearer and take the pressure off of us. I'm an experienced manager and I have been in this situation before."

On Wilfried Zaha: "I think Wilf is hoping that England come for him. I think he's done more than another to warrant a place.

"The ball's in England's court. He had a chance at junior level, but not enough at senior."

Bob Bradley

"But what we must do right now is to make sure that between the supporters and the players and the staff is that we are in this together.

"We need that at the Liberty on Saturday and there will be plenty of time for other things to work themselves out.

"I would prefer everyone to be on the same page, but within a team you cannot let distractions take away from the responsibility we have when wearing those colours.

"Supporters at different times will speak up and voice their opinions. That is fair, they are heart and soul of club, but they know that on the field the only thing that matters is the result and how we play.

"I want the supporters to put any issues aside and let the players know that they will be right with us for the road ahead."
