TEAM NEWS
Swansea City have Ben Cabango available to face Rovers following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Josh Key and Mykola Kuharevich are doubts after missing the midweek clash with Watford, with head coach Michael Duff set to make a late call on their availability.
Josh Ginnelly, Joe Allen, Nathan Wood and Azeem Abdulai are all sidelined.
PRE-MATCH VIEWS
Michael Duff: "They have won the last three and are a good energetic, young side. They will come after you with a full-court press, so we will need to be good with and without the ball.
"We will need to play well because you can’t go away from home in the Championship and get away with not playing well.
"We have played well in our last two away performances, and if we can do that again and be a bit more clinical with the ball we will give ourselves a good chance."
Jon Dahl Tomasson: “I am proud of the boys, they’re doing everything for Rovers. They play good football but they want to get results for the fans. It’s a young side so sometimes we are learning on the job but the willingness is great.
“When you start a new project, there will be bumps in the road. There have been less bumps in the last year but there were a lot of changes in the summer. A lot of players with experience went away so these young players have to learn fast.
“They’re trying their best and doing everything to learn fast.”

REMEMBER THE LAST TIME?
Swansea City suffered late heartbreak as Daniel Ayala headed in a 90th minute winner for Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
The Swans had started brightly with early chances for Joel Piroe, while Ben Cabango headed against the woodwork and Jay Fulton steered a good opportunity wide, but they were unable to find the breakthrough as the first half ended goalless.
The home side created more chances in the second half and Andy Fisher made a good save from Ben Brereton-Diaz.
Piroe had a few more half-chances later in the game but it was the home side who would take the points when Ayala was able to head in after a cross had been flicked on and fell for him in the final moments.
PRIME NUMBERS
49 - Harry Darling's fine form for the Swans is underlined by the fact his tally of 49 combined clearances, blacks and interceptions is the highest such tally in the squad so far this term.
52 – Swansea have not won at Ewood Park since a 2-1 victory in the old Third Division back in September 1971, over 52 years ago.
