Swansea look set to name an unchanged side from the team that managed a surprise 2-0 win over Arsenal, as the Welsh club's injury problems persist. Kyle Bartley (thigh), Danny Graham (illness) and Pablo Hernandez (hip) are all set to miss Saturday's clash.
Meanwhile, Neil Taylor (ankle), Wayne Routledge (ankle) and goalkeeper Michel Vorm (groin) all remain sidelined through injury.
For Norwich, Michael Turner is set to return from a shoulder injury and should replace Ryan Bennett at centre back, although Hughton may be tempted to persist with Bennett given the Canaries' recent form.
Otherwise, the visitors look poised to name an unchanged side from the team that beat Sunderland 2-1, with Bunn continuing to deputise for the injured Ruddy (hip), while Kane (ankle) also remains on the sidelines.
