Swansea, though, line up just one point and one spot adrift of a play-offs place with boss Steve Cooper naming an unchanged side with Liverpool loanee and England under-21s striker Rhian Brewster upfront.
Brewster has netted eight goals in 16 league appearances for the Swans for whom former Whites loanee and now Swansea captain Matt Grimes starts in midfield.
