Swansea v Reading preview

Team news ahead of Saturday afternoon's Premier League clash between Swansea and Reading at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea manager Michael Laudrup is hopeful that defender Ashley Williams will have recovered from a bout of illness.

Williams has been playing with an ankle injury for the last two matches and if he is not fit to play, Laudrup could turn to Garry Monk or Alan Tate for the Premier League game.

Dutchman Kemy Agustien is out as he recovers from a calf injury while Leon Britton will make his 400th appearance for the club if he plays a part at the Liberty Stadium.

Reading boss Brian McDermott has no fresh injury concerns as the club look to pick up their first Premier League win of the season.

Goalkeeper Adam Federici (knee) remains sidelined and there is a small doubt over Mikele Leigertwood after the midfielder suffered a dead leg in last Saturday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle.

Experienced striker Jason Roberts was introduced as a late substitute in the draw for his first appearance of the season following a calf problem and he remains in contention.

Swansea (from): Vorm, Flores, Tate, Monk, Williams, Britton, Michu, Graham, Hernandez, Dyer, Routledge, Shechter, Moore, De Guzman, Rangel, Tiendalli, Ki, Tremmel, Gower, Richards, Davies.

Reading (from): McCarthy, Taylor, Gunter, Cummings, Gorkss, Pearce, Mariappa, Shorey, Harte, McAnuff, Guthrie, Leigertwood, Tabb, McCleary, Kebe, Pogrebnyak, Le Fondre, Hunt, Robson-Kanu, Church, Roberts.
