Swansea v Birmingham
With no new injuries, the Swans are anticipated to be unchanged for the visit of Birmingham this afternoon.
For the Blues, Scott Hogan is expected to go straight into the squad after rejoining Birmingham on a permanent deal this week. Just joined too is goalkeeper Neil Etheridge from Cardiff for an undisclosed fee, and he is in contention for his first start. Fellow goalkeeper Andres Prieto missed last weekend's win against Brentford with a calf injury and is still sidelined. Josh McEachran and Jonathan Leko are definitely out.

FT 0-0
Boring game and Cooper reluctant to change things with subs.
Cullen for Lowe in the 85’, come on, we were the home side.
We badly need some firepower up front, this is ridiculous.
Brewster not replaced, we knew there was no chance of him coming back.
Two points dropped today.

We could still be playing and not score.

I know I’m stating the obvious, but we desperately need to bring someone in who can score goals.
If, as Cooper says, there’s no money in the pot, surely we can get another loanee in to replace Brewster, and I can’t understand the hesitancy. Where is the £3m for Celina gone, and the Dan James £1m add-on due for number of games played? James started yesterday for Man U, triggering the payment.
