Swansea City v Newcastle United: match preview

This article is more than 6 years old

A couple of welcome selection headaches for Paul Clement, who must decide whether Renato Sanches, who had his first Swansea training session on Friday, and Wilfried Bony, who has not made a Premier League appearance since December, should go straight into the team. Newcastle, in contrast, are not sure whether Rafael Benítez will be in the dugout to make any decisions – the Spaniard underwent surgery this week in relation to an infection following a hernia operation. Jonjo Shelvey, a former Swansea player, is available after serving a three-match ban. David Hytner
