Team News: Wilfried Bony returns as one of four Swansea City changes

Wilfried Bony returns to face Aston Villa as Garry Monk makes four changes to his Swansea City side.

Wilfried Bony has returned to the Swansea City side for today's game at home to Aston Villa.

The Ivory Coast striker was rested for Saturday's 1-0 win at Hull, but has regained his place in the starting XI alongside Gylfi Sigurdsson, Jefferson Montero and Angel Rangel, who also return after missing out at the KC Stadium.

Meanwhile, Villa have made two changes from the side that held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at the weekend.

Alan Hutton has replaced Matthew Lowton at right wing-back, while Tom Cleverley has returned to a three-man central midfield in place of Andreas Weimann.

Swansea: Fabianski, Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Ki, Shelvey, Sigurdsson, Dyer, Montero, Bony
Subs: Tremmel, Richards, Bartley, Carroll, Emnes, Routledge, Gomis

Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Vlaar, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Delph, Cleverley, Sanchez, Agbonlahor, Benteke
Subs: Given, Bacuna, Weimann, Herd, N'Zogbia, Lowton, Grealish
