FOOTBALL: Swansea City defender Marcos Painter - 0

Bristol Rovers v Swansea (19:45 GMT)

21-year-old left-back Painter (pictured) has been sidelined by the re-occurrence of a hamstring problem.

Swans captain Garry Monk (back) is also injured so Kevin Austin may come into the side at left-back.

Rovers midfielder David Pipe is a doubt with a hip injury, while a knee problem is keeping Steve Elliott out of action.

On-loan midfielder Anthony Pulis has returned to parent club Stoke to receive treatment for a thigh injury.

Huddersfield v Brighton (19:45 GMT)

Huddersfield forward Danny Broadbent could make his first start for the club in the absence through a calf injury of Phil Jevons.

Fellow striker Lucas Akins is likely to be named on the substitutes' bench, while centre-half Robert Page should play after recovering from a knock sustained in the 2-1 home defeat against Southend.

Kerry Mayo is likely to start at left-back for the visitors as Matt Richards is out with a hamstring injury.

Defender Adam Hinshelwood and midfielder Paul Reid (both knee) are definitely out.
