Premier League Preview: Swansea - Everton
Michael Laudrup is looking for a swift return to form after defeat at Aston Villa last week, while Everton is hoping to pick up a first win in three Premier League games.

| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
|
SWANSEA CITY  Vorm Rangel, Tate, A Williams, Davies Britton, De Guzman Michu Routledge, Graham, Dyer |
EVERTON
 Howard Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines Neville, Osman Mirallas, Fellaini, Pienaar Anichebe |
Michael Laudrup is sweating on the fitness of defender Ashley Williams, who is fighting to recover from an ankle injury. The Swans’ defense is already threadbare as they continue to be without the suspended Chico Flores, while Kyle Bartley (thigh) and Neil Taylor (ankle) are long-term injuries, but Gary Monk (back) could make it on to the bench.
If Williams recovers, the manager is likely to name the same side from their defeat at Aston Villa, with Pablo Hernandez awaiting his first start for the club.
Striker Nikica Jelavic (knee) is likely to miss out for Everton after colliding with the goalpost against Newcastle on Monday, meaning Victor Anichebe will come into the starting lineup.
David Moyes has no other new injury worries, with Darron Gibson (thigh) the only absentee, so the Toffees are likely to name a similar starting lineup that drew 2-2 with the Magpies on Monday.
