Shay Given will not make his first Premier League appearance of the season with Mark Hughes instead handing a league debut to Jakob Haugaard.

After No 1 Jack Butland was injured while on England duty, 39-year-old Given was in the frame to play.

However, Hughes will instead play the 23-year-old Dane, his first Premier League game since joining from FC Midtjylland last summer.

Hughes has made two other changes to his side, Bojan coming in for Jon Walters - who was also injured while on Republic of Ireland duty - and and Erik Pieters coming in for Marc Muniesa at left-back.

Swansea City boss Francesco Guidolin has made three changes to his team.

Kyle Naughton comes in for youngster Stephen Kingsley at left-back, Leon Britton for Ki Seung-yeung in midfield and Wayne Roytledge for Modou Barrow on the wing.
