The fitness of newly appointed Wales captain Ashley Williams is a concern for Swansea as they look for their first win in four games. Williams has been struggling with an ankle injury in recent weeks and is now battling an illness that could rule him out. Swans coach Michael Laudrup will ask Williams how he feels before naming the team. Leon Britton will make his 400th appearance for the club if he's selected, but there are still doubts over the fitness of fellow midfielders Kemy Agustien and Jonathan De Guzman.
- Injured: Taylor, Agustien
- Suspended: None
- Doubtful: None
- Late Fitness Test: Agustien, De Guzman
Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici remains sidelined with a knee injury, meaning Alex McCarthy is expected to keep his place between the sticks when the Royals travel to Swansea City. Midfielder Mikele Leigertwood suffered a dead leg last time out against Newcastle but should be fine to play pending a late test. Otherwise Brian McDermott has no new injury worries, with Jason Roberts and Jimmy Kebe returning from problems last week, and they will be in contention once again.
- Injured: Federici
- Suspended: None
- Doubtful: None
- Late Fitness Test: Leigertwood
