Team News: Wilfried Bony starts for Swansea City against Watford

Wilfried Bony has been handed his first Premier League start since his return to Swansea City as they host Watford this afternoon.

The Ivorian's inclusion represents one of two changes from the Swans' stalemate with Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley a week ago, with Leroy Fer also coming into the XI.

Renato Sanches and Tammy Abraham are the players to make way, each taking a place on the bench.

Marco Silva has made two alterations to the starting lineup that suffered a 6-0 mauling by Manchester City last time out.

Right-back Kiko Femenia is back in the squad after suffering concussion, replacing the benched Daryl Janmaat, while Etienne Capoue is in for Nathaniel Chalobah.

Miguel Britos remains unselectable due to suspension.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Mawson, Van der Hoorn, Fernandez; Naughton, Olsson, Clucas, Fer, Carroll; Ayew, Bony Subs: Nordtfelt, Rangel, Mesa, Sanches, Routledge, Narsingh, Abraham

Watford: Gomes; Femenia, Mariappa, Holebas, Kabasele; Doucoure, Capoue; Cleverley, Carrillo, Richarlison; Gray Subs: Karnezis, Janmaat, Deeney, Watson, Success, Wague, Pereyra
