Town boss Paul Lambert has made seven changes to his team for today’s game against Swansea City with Will Keane, Dean Gerken, Trevoh Chalobah, Gwion Edwards, Andre Dozzell, Callum Elder and James Bree all in the XI.

Gerken comes in for Bartosz Bialkowski, who drops to the bench, with Bree, one of four loan players in the team, at right-back and Elder at left-back with Josh Emmanuel and Myles Kenlock both dropping out of the squad.
