Team News: Fernando Llorente on bench for unchanged Swansea City

Llorente on bench for unchanged Swans

Swansea City's Fernando Llorente starts this afternoon's trip to West Ham United on the bench.

The Swans' top scorer, who has been kept out of the past two games with an ankle problem, has been deemed fit enough for a place among the substitutes.

Kyle Naughton and Lukasz Fabianski have both managed to overcome injuries picked up in midweek's home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, allowing Paul Clement to name the same XI this afternoon as they try to avoid a fifth consecutive Premier League defeat.

The hosting Hammers, meanwhile, show just the one change from midweek's defeat to Arsenal, as Andy Carroll - forced off against the Gunners due to injury - is replaced in attack by Robert Snodgrass.

Andre Ayew is fielded at the tip of the Hammers' attack, while brother Jordan Ayew will be trying to extend the hosts' five-game losing streak in the Swans' final third.

Michail Antonio, who also came off at the Emirates, is fit enough to start.

West Ham United: Randolph; Byram, Collins, Fonte, Masuaku; Noble, Kouyate; Antonio, Lanzini, Snodgrass; Ayew Subs: Adrian, Nordtveit, Fernandes, Feghouli, Carroll, Sakho, Calleri

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