    My sister and brother-in-law in Frome - both younger than I am - have had theirs but there are health issues with both, so understandable <cheers>

    Joel Latibeaudiere starts against his former club and Jordan Morris makes his full debut as Steve Cooper makes five changes for this evening's FA Cup clash with Manchester City.

    Latibeaudiere, who joined the Swans from the Citizens in October, comes into the Swansea defence, as does Ben Cabango.

    Morris starts up front after making two previous substitute appearances following his loan move from Seattle Sounders, with Ryan Manning and Yan Dhanda also among the alterations from the win over Norwich.

    Ryan Bennett, Kyle Naughton, Jake Bidwell, Conor Hourihane and Andre Ayew drop the bench, while new signing Paul Arriola is also named among the substitutes following his arrival from DC United.

    Freddie Woodman continues in goal, with Latibeaudiere and Cabango being joined by Marc Guehi in the Swansea defence.

    Connor Roberts and Manning are the wing-backs, with skipper Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton lining up in midfield.

    Dhanda takes on the attacking midfield role, while Morris partners Jamal Lowe in attack.

    The visitors make seven changes from their win over Liverpool with Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling the four players to retain their places.

    Swansea City: Freddie Woodman; Joel Latibeaudiere, Ben Cabango, Marc Guehi; Connor Roberts, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain), Ryan Manning; Yan Dhanda; Jamal Lowe, Jordan Morris.

    Substitutes: Lewis Webb, Ryan Bennett, Andre Ayew, Conor Hourihane, Morgan Whittaker, Paul Arriola, Jake Bidwell, Kyle Naughton, Kieron Freeman.

    Manchester City: Zack Steffen, Eric Garcia, Ilkay Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus, Aymeric Laporte, Benjamin Mendy, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling (captain), Ferran Torres, Kyle Walker.

    Substitutes: Ederson, Adrian Bernabe, Joao Cancelo, Tommy Doyle, Phil Foden, Claudio Gomes, Riyad Mahrez, John Stones, Oleksandr Zinchenko.

    Referee: Peter Bankes

    A bit of both?

    I thought that Arriola and Whittaker would have started in place of Connor and Lowe<cheers>

    I think SC is looking for a shock today....it’s a good team and a strong bench..as alluded to before most players would want to play in this game whether or not they need a rest...

    SC values the large over the cup then. Me, I’d prefer winning the cup as I’m enjoying the large competition this year. #COYS
