Hernandez misses out for Swansea fortunately, but still worried about Dyer vs Vertonghen. Would I want to risk Naughton instead? Tough one, I don't rate KN. I think I actually would after Vertonghen's first-half horror-show vs Everton.
I also think it's absolutely essential that we play three in midfield and, with Parker probably not quite ready, I'd play Livermore rather than Huddlestone.
My team would probably be:
Tough call re: Ade vs Defoe. Against possession teams we may benefit from someone like Defoe who will take on shots from distance, but equally we'd have to accept that we'll see less of the ball.
