FOOTBALL Roberto Martinez Swansea manager - 0

Swansea v Crewe

Swansea manager Roberto Martinez may start with on-loan Manchester United striker Febian Brandy, who came on as a substitute in the win over Port Vale at the weekend.

Andrea Orlandi (knee) and Owain Tudur-Jones (ankle) are out long-term for the Welsh outfit while Darren Way (hamstring) is not yet ready to feature.

Crewe winger Byron Moore is a major doubt because of illness but Mark Carrington and James Bailey may return after missing the defeat to Carlisle due to a similar ailment. Ben Rix is also fit again.

Midfielder Steven Schumacher and defender Neil Cox could be rested by manager Steve Holland. Left-back Billy Jones (knee) is out for two months.

Everton youngster Patrick Boyle, who has joined on loan for a month, is in the squad.

Bournemouth v Luton

Bournemouth's replacement goalkeeper Gareth Stewart has a hamstring problem and so joins first-choice Neil Moss (broken wrist) on the sidelines. That leaves 17-year-old Ryan Pryce as the only fit 'keeper at the club.

Luton midfielders Matthew Spring and David Bell will undergo fitness tests while Sam Parkin (ankle) remains injured.

Gillingham v Oldham

Gillingham defender Simon King has a hamstring injury and could miss the visit of Oldham while Dennis Oli is definitely out with his own hamstring problem.

Oldham full-back Neal Eardley is set to feature again but John Thompson, Andy Liddell and skipper Sean Gregan are all still missing.

Hartlepool v Southend

Hartlepool defender Jamie McCunnie is back in the squad after a knee injury but Andy Monkhouse (knee) will not play.

Southend are struggling in attack. Matt Harrold has a broken nose while Charlie MacDonald has an ankle injury. Gary Hooper may have to lead the line alone.
