Team news | Swansea City v Blackburn Rovers

Ben Cabango is handed his full league debut while Tom Carroll makes his first Championship start at the Liberty in 14 months as part of four changes for Swansea City's clash with Blackburn.

Cabango, who has been hugely impressive when called upon this term, comes in for Ben Wilmot to partner Mike van der Hoorn at the heart of the Swans defence.

The other change at the back sees Jake Bidwell restored at left-back in place of Kyle Naughton.

Carroll - who last started a home league game for the Swans against Rovers in October 2018 - comes in ahead of Jay Fulton in midfield, while Bersant Celina is preferred to Kristoffer Peterson on the left wing.

Freddie Woodman is in goal with the back four of Connor Roberts, van der Hoorn, Cabango and Bidwell.

Carroll and captain Matt Grimes are paired together in midfield, with George Byers taking up the number 10 role.

Andre Ayew and Celina are out wide, with Sam Surridge leading the line.
