Jordan Hugill could rival Brit Assombalonga for a start up front with the Congolese forward starting each and every one of Middlesbrough's Championship games so far. Rudy Gestede is nearing full fitness so that gives Tony Pulis another option. Summer signings George Saville and Danny Batth may be given a chance to cement their place in the starting 11.

Swansea possess a completely different side to the one that was relegated from the top flight in May. Oli McBurnie has been the vocal point of the Swans' attack in recent weeks while Bersant Celina and Yan Dhanda are beginning to impress.
