Preview: Swansea City vs. Sunderland

Sunderland travel to the Liberty Stadium for their Premier League clash with Swansea City on Saturday.

The Black Cats are the only team to have played just one fixture in the new season due to their game against Reading being called off last week due to a waterlogged pitch.

Wes Brown (knee) and David Vaughan (hernia) are both struggling with injuries, but Steven Fletcher and Adam Johnson should both make their debuts.

Kieron Richardson is unlikely to feature as he looks set for a move to Fulham.

Meanwhile, Swansea have started the new season in blistering form. They have won both their matches, keeping two cleans sheets and scoring eight goals.

Michael Laudrup has a fully-fit squad to choose from and is likely to name an unchanged team from last week's 3-0 win over West Ham United.

Current form:
Swansea: WW
Sunderland: D

Possible lineups:

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Taylor, Chico, Williams, Routledge, De Guzman, Britton, Dyer, Michu, Graham

Sunderland: Mignolet; Kilgallon, O'Shea, Cuellar, Brown; Larsson, Gardner, Cattermole, Johnson, Sessegnon; Fletcher

Sports Mole says: 2-1
