Team news | Swansea City v Birmingham City

Yan Dhanda

Yan Dhanda is the sole change to the Swansea City side for Sunday’s clash with Birmingham City.

The midfielder comes in for George Byers, who drops to the bench after struggling with illness, and makes just his second league start for the Swans.

The hosts are otherwise unchanged from the midweek win over QPR with Freddie Woodman in goal behind a back four of Connor Roberts, Mike van der Hoorn, Joe Rodon and Jake Bidwell.

Skipper Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton pair up in midfield, with a trio of Andre Ayew, Dhanda and Bersant Celina operating ahead of them.

Borja Baston

Birthday boy Borja Baston, who turns 27 today, leads the line on the back of four goals in four games for the Swans this season.
