Provisional squad: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Mawson, Clucas, Ki, Carroll, Fer, Dyer, Ayew, Abraham, Nordfeldt, Rangel, Van der Hoorn, Rodon, Mesa, Narsingh, Fulton, Routledge, McBurnie.

Key match stats (supplied by Opta)

These two sides haven’t met in a league fixture since the final day of the 2007-08 campaign in League One, with Swansea winning 1-0 at the Withdean Stadium.

Brighton have lost four of their last five meetings with the Swans in all competitions (D1) since a 3-2 win in League One in December 2006.

The Seagulls are winless in their last nine away league games at Swansea (D3 L6) since winning 1-0 in November 1992. However, they’ve never lost there in the top-flight (W1 D1).

Swansea have lost four of their last five Premier League games, with the only victory in that time coming against newly promoted Huddersfield.

The Swans have already lost to Newcastle at Liberty Stadium this season – they’ve never lost two Premier League home games against newly promoted sides in a single season before.

Swansea have conceded more home league goals than any other side in the competition (43)

Brighton are looking to record back-to-back away victories in the top-flight for only the second time, and first since April 1981 when they won at Crystal Palace and Sunderland.

Since the start of last season, Swansea have conceded more home Premier League goals than any other side in the competition (43).

Swansea have attempted just 20 shots on target this season in their 10 Premier League games – only three sides have attempted fewer in their opening 10 PL games of a season since 2006-07: Sunderland (16 in 2012-13), Aston Villa (19 in 2014-15) and Burnley (19 in 2016-17).

Tammy Abraham has been directly involved in 71 per cent of Swansea’s seven league goals this season (4 goals, 1 assist) – the highest ratio in the division.

Pascal Gross is second on this list with 70 per cent (scored two, assisted five of Brighton’s 10 goals) – only six players have provided more assists in their first 10 Premier League appearances than the German midfielder (Lee Sharpe, David Ginola, Arjen Robben, Mesut Ozil, Angel Di Maria and Dusan Tadic each with six).
