Swansea City boss Luke Williams names an unchanged side for the south Wales derby against Cardiff City.

The head coach sticks with the team that started the victory over Preston North End last time out, while new signings Nelson Abbey and Florian Bianchini are among the substitutes.

Joe Allen is fit enough for a place on the bench as he returns from injury.

Lawrence Vigouroux continues in goal with Josh Key, Josh Tymon, Harry Darling and Ben Cabango making up the Swansea defence.

Captain Matt Grimes is joined by Ollie Cooper and Gonçalo Franco in midfield, while Jisung Eom and Ronald will provide the width for the host.

Liam Cullen leads the line for the hosts.
