Swans Take On League Leaders

Swansea City take on top of the table Doncaster Rovers at the Vetch Field on Friday night, looking to build on their victories over Leyton Orient and Cambridge.  The Swans could narrow the gap temporarily between them and the play-offs to five points.
 
Alan Tate should take his place at the centre of defence despite picking up a knock in Tuesday's 1-0 win at Cambridge.

Brian Flynn is expected to name the same side that played that night with no new players having been signed in time for the game.

That would mean that Brian Murphy would continue in goal ahead of Roger Freestone who was dropped at the Abbey Stadium on Tuesday.  Murphy made a great save at the end of the match to justify Flynn's decision.

Doncaster will be without their prolific striker Craig Blundell who is suspended.  Dave Penney's side have been the surprise package of the division this season after winning promotion via the Conference play-offs last season.

If they win tonight it could open up a eight point gap between them and second placed Hull City who play tomorrow.

Tonight's game at The Vetch kicks off at 7:45pm.  If you can't make it to support the team full commentary will be on Swansea Sound (1170 mw).
