Swansea - Blackburn

Adam Idah will be tasked with leading the line as Swansea City look to recover from a heavy defeat at Queens Park Rangers. The forward is expected to spearhead an XI that has recently experienced a dip in momentum, having lost their last two Championship outings without scoring. With Josh Key sidelined due to injury, the defensive unit featuring Ben Cabango and Stephen Welsh faces a stern test to regain the stability that previously saw them secure narrow victories over Millwall and Norwich City earlier in October.

Blackburn Rovers arrive at the Swansea.com Stadium on 31 October 2026 following a confident 2-0 win against Wrexham. Andri Gudjohnsen remains a focal point for the visitors, who have shown resilience in recent weeks despite a narrow loss to West Bromwich Albion. With Ryoya Morishita and Yuri Ribeiro both unavailable, Blackburn will rely on the midfield work rate of Sam Morsy to dictate the tempo in this matchday 13 encounter.
