It’s Bristol City next and a relatively short trip over the Severn Bridge.
An early kick-off at midday for the second successive match because of crowd trouble in previous fixtures. All 1900 tickets sold with no further allocation allowed.
Team news, Manning and Paterson back in the squad after injury.
Allen has had a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury and is ruled out playing for us until after the World Cup.
They are not new injuries but Bristol’s centre-back pair Naismith (been out almost a month - calf injury) and Kalas (been out long term with a knee injury) are still missing.
We meet up again with an ex-loan player from our relegation season in 2018, midfielder Andy King, who is now player-coach with the Robins. He came off the subs-bench in their last match, a 2-0 defeat at Reading. Only days before Bristol had a good away win, 0-2 at West Brom, who themselves had won 0-2 at Reading recently.
The Championship is wide open this season, lose a few and you’re down the bottom, win a few and you’re up the top.
Come on the Swans, no “after the Lord Mayors Show” please!
