Team News: Hugo Lloris missing for Tottenham Hotspur against Swansea City

Lloris missing for Spurs against Swans

Paul Clement has made one change to his Swansea City side for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur this evening.

Wayne Routledge comes into the side after missing the goalless draw with Middlesbrough on Sunday for personal reasons, with Luciano Narsingh dropping to the bench as a result.

Top scorer Fernando Llorente remains out of action with an ankle injury as the Swans enter this evening's clash without having scored in their last two league outings.

Mauricio Pochettino has picked a much-changed lineup to that which beat Burnley 2-0 at the weekend, meanwhile, with five alterations.

The first change comes between the sticks as Liberty Stadium alumnus Michel Vorm stands in for the illness-stricken Hugo Lloris. Another former Swan lining up against his former employers is Ben Davies in the back four.

Kyle Walker, who was rested at Turf Moor, returns to the XI, as do Mousa Dembele, Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min.

Harry Winks, who injured his ankle in the Clarets clash, has been ruled out for the rest of the season, and Victor Wanyama is also absent from the squad after limping off on Saturday.

Kieran Trippier and Vincent Janssen drop to the bench this evening as Spurs look for a victory that would close the gap to table-topping Chelsea to four points should Manchester City overcome the Blues.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Olsson, Mawson, Fernandez, Naughton; Cork, Fer, Carroll; Sigurdsson, Ayew, Routledge Subs: Nordfeldt, Kingsley, Amat, Ki, Montero, Narsingh, McBurnie

Tottenham Hotspur: Vorm; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Dembele; Sissoko, Eriksen, Alli; Son Subs: Janssen, Nkoudou, Trippier, Onomah, Wimmer, Pau Lopez, Carter-Vickers
