Matt Grimes Bristol replay

Captain Matt Grimes returns in the only change to the Swansea City side to face Middlesbrough at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Illness forced Grimes to miss last weekend's game at Luton, but he has recovered and takes the place of injury victim Joe Allen in the Swansea midfield.

The hosts are otherwise unchanged as Andy Fisher continues in goal, with Ben Cabango, Nathan Wood and Joel Latibeaudiere lining up in the Swansea back three.

Ryan Manning and Matty Sorinola occupy the wing-back slots, with Grimes joining Jay Fulton in midfield.

Ollie Cooper and Luke Cundle provide support for Joel Piroe in the final third.
