Norwich City v Swansea City team news & stats
Swansea City: Looking for overdue home win against Bournemouth
Swansea City must improve on a dreadful recent record at Norwich City if they are to turn around their poor Premier League form.
Team news
Norwich are without Russell Martin following his sending-off against Manchester City last weekend, while Matt Jarvis faces several weeks out with a knee injury.
Dieumerci Mbokani and Andre Wisdom, however, are available for Alex Neil’s side following illness and a knee injury respectively.
Swansea have no new injury worries ahead of the game, but Garry Monk may opt to make changes anyway with Wayne Routledge fit after a recent calf injury.
