The teams are in for this afternoon’s final Championship game of the season as Swansea City take on Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
The big news is that Dan James doesn’t feature. John has earned himself a start, so too has striker Connor Baker-Richardson. Yan Dhanda is named amongst the substitutes.
Daniel James has had an injection in his toe, hence his absence today. Has had the problem for the last two games so Swans not willing to risk him today. #Swans

It’s likely that the Swans will continue with a 3-4-1-2 formation like they ended the 1-1 draw against Derby in midweek. If so, Grimes starts at left centre-back with John and Roberts as wing-backs. Byers and Fulton in midfield with Routledge in support of a front duo of McBurnie and Baker-Richardson.
