Charlie Patino, the midfielder on loan from Arsenal, is set for a Swans starting spot today when Coventry City are the visitors to the Swansea.com Stadium.<\/p>\n
Having now trained with the squad for the best part of two weeks and making an impact last weekend as a substitute then Patino is expected to make a start today at the expense of Ollie Cooper with Duff set to go for a familiar line up outside of that change.<\/p>\n
New signing Nathan Tjoe-A-On is not yet ready (in Duff’s own words) for a start which should meant that the rest of the side will have the same feel as the previous two games leaving us continuing with three at the back.<\/p>\n
Three goals conceded last weekend could have suggested a move around the backline but Duff looks set to continue with Darling, Cabango and Wood for now as he goes in search of a first Swans league win as manager.<\/p>\n
With transfer speculation around Joel Piroe still strong the game could end up being his last home league start in a Swans shirt and yesterday’s contract news for Matt Grimes will mean that he leads out the Swans with a two year contract extension tucked nicely in his pocket.<\/p>\n
Outside of those mentioned Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Harrison Ashby, Jay Fulton and Jerry Yates should also all start in what will prove to be a tough test for the Swans.<\/p>\n
Predicted Starting XI:\u00a0<\/strong>Rushworth, Key, Darling, Cabango, Wood, Ashby, Grimes, Fulton, Patino, Piroe, Yates.<\/p>\n Coventry have sold out their full allocation of tickets for this game although there are still plenty of tickets available in the home sections.<\/p>\n
