Team news | Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion

Swansea City boss Vitor Matos has made four changes for this afternoon’s Championship fixture against West Bromwich Albion, with Malick Yalcouye among those to come into the starting XI.

With this the third game in seven days – and another fixture at Millwall looming on Sunday – head coach Matos has shuffled his pack for the first fixture of 2026.

Yalcouye – who makes a first start since October - is joined by Goncalo Franco, Ronald and Josh Key in the line-up, taking the places of Jay Fulton, Zan Vipotnik, Jisung Eom and Ethan Galbraith, who are named among the substitutes.

Lawrence Vigouroux continues in goal, with Key linking up with captain Ben Cabango, Cameron Burgess and Josh Tymon in defence.

Yalcouye and Franco, meanwhile, link up with Marko Stamenic in the middle of the park after being prominent off the bench at Oxford on Monday night.

Melker Widell, Ronald and Zeidane Inoussa will lead the Swansea attack.
