Swansea vs Stoke City Team News
Martin will almost certainly look to name a more attack-minded Swansea side having effectively used four central midfielders at Blackburn.
Oliver Cooper, Morgan Whittaker and Liam Cullen are all in contention to feature in a role behind Joel Piroe.
Matthew Sorinola could also be restored at wing-back, with Joel Latibeaudiere and Luke Cundle among those who could miss out.
Neil will also make alterations to his Stoke XI, particularly in midfield and attack where Lewis Baker may be recalled to bring more creativity.
However, doubts remain over whether Axel Tuanzebe, Ben Pearson and Bersant Celina will come back into contention after missing the trip to Blackpool.
