Swansea City vs Fulham preview - Allen out for Swans

Swansea will be without midfielder Joe Allen for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Fulham at the Liberty Stadium.

Wales international Allen is suspended after being sent off in last weekend's 4-2 defeat at Blackburn and manager Brendan Rodgers must decide whether to replace him with Luke Moore, Wayne Routledge or Kemy Agustien.

Striker Danny Graham is available again after an Achilles problem kept him out at Ewood Park, with defender Steven Caulker another man back in contention, but Angel Rangel (ankle) remains sidelined.

Scott Sinclair is confident of rediscovering his goalscoring touch as Swansea look to arrest a run of four games without a win.

The 22-year-old has three goals to his name so far, including the club's first Premier League effort, but they have all come from the penalty spot meaning he is still awaiting his first goal from open play.

He said: "I beat myself up when I don't score goals or when I have missed a chance, but you can't dwell on what's just happened, you see what you have done wrong but you have to move on to next situation. For me it's about being more clinical in front of goal.

"I have been doing extra work on shooting in training and (assistant manager) Colin Pascoe is top class with that in helping us out, but it's one of those things where you can only do so much and it's going to happen.

"You can go through five, six, seven or eight games without scoring and then before you know it you might get two in a game, I think it's a matter of time before I go on a goalscoring run.

"There is an expectation as I scored 27 goals last season, but I have my own expectations and I start every game looking to score.

"My confidence is still up, I am still doing well and getting in the right areas it's just the goals are not coming for me. Other strikers go through it and maybe don't score in four or five games but the expectation is high after last season."

Danny Murphy and Simon Davies could be surprise inclusions for Fulham.

Skipper Murphy looked set to miss the match after picking up an ankle knock against former club Liverpool on Monday, but is in contention after making a rapid recovery.

Fulham boss Martin Jol will check on Murphy's fitness along with fellow midfielder Davies, who could make his first league appearance of the season after a long-term knee complaint.

Winger Damien Duff (calf) and defender Chris Baird (personal reasons) are out.
