Team news | Swansea City v Morecambe

6th January
First team
Joe Allen

Joe Allen returns to the Swansea City starting line-up as skipper, while teenager Sam Parker gets another opportunity as the hosts show 11 changes for the FA Cup tie against Morecambe.

Luke Williams takes charge of the Swans for the first time, and the hosts field a completely changed line-up from the one that concluded a hectic festive schedule with victory over West Brom.

Andy Fisher makes his first appearance of the season in goal, while Kristian Pedersen and Azeem Abdulai return from injury in a defence also including Nathan Wood and Kyle Naughton.

Allen is joined by Ollie Cooper and Charlie Patino in midfield. 

Parker and Yannick Bolasie occupy the wide roles, with Jerry Yates leading the line for the Swans.

Kyrell Wilson, Filip Lissah and Nathan Tjoe-A-On could all make their senior Swansea debuts from the bench.
