Liam Cullen and Jamal Lowe come into the Swansea City starting line-up for this afternoon’s opening Championship fixture of 2024 against West Bromwich Albion.

Cullen came on from the bench to net the equaliser against Coventry City on Friday night and comes in for Yannick Bolasie.

Lowe, meanwhile, replaces teenager Sam Parker, who drops to the bench along with Bolasie.

The Swans are otherwise unchanged from the draw at the CBS Arena, with Carl Rushworth in goal.

Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Josh Tymon and Bashir Humphreys make up the defence, with captain Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton paired together ahead of them.

Lowe joins Liam Walsh and Jamie Paterson will provide support to Cullen in attack.
