Town take on Swansea at Portman Road tomorrow in the 12:45 kick-off with Town looking to build on the Carling Cup win against West Brom in midweek.

Roy Keane will be able to include Damien Delaney in the squad again after he served his one match ban while loanees Jack Colback, Jake Livermore, Gianni Zuiverloon and Rory Fallon can play again after being cup-tied in midweek. Gareth McAuley, Luke Hyam, Connor Wickham, Mark Kennedy and Marton Fulop are all out.

Town manager Roy Keane: "In many ways this is a harder game than West Brom, where there was less pressure and expectancy on the players, we have to get back on track in the Championship and start climbing up the table.

"We have to build on the performance from the other night against a very good team who have been heading in the right direction over the last two years.

"They just missed out on the Play-Offs last season but are where we want to be at the moment, right in the thick of the top six.

"They are probably the best footballing team in the division. They have a system that works for them and their players are comfortable with and although they don't score many goals, they don't concede many either.

"And although they play good football, their goal here last season came from a long ball so they can be direct when they need to be.

"Brendan (Rodgers) has done a great job there. We have met up a few times on coaching courses and he's a good man."
