Ashley Williams is set to make a record-equalling return for Swansea at Crystal Palace. The centre-back has recovered from injury meaning he is now set to make his 106th successive league appearance for the Swans, joining former outfield players Andy Legg and Gilbert Beach on the milestone although goalkeeper Roger Freestone holds the all-time record with 186.

Boss Brendan Rodgers will be delighted to have the Wales international back as he prepares to lose captain Garry Monk to a one-match ban for collecting five bookings, and possibly fellow defender Albert Serran who is set for a thigh scan.
