Swansea will check on the fitness of Darren Pratley and David Cotterill ahead of the visit of Derby. Pratley (shoulder) and Cotterill (groin) missed Tuesday`s 3-2 victory at Watford as City registered their first away points of the season. Manager Brendan Rodgers admits there are also a few niggles within his squad as a result of their hectic schedule of late but none are thought to be serious. Rodgers must decide who to partner in attack with Stephen Dobbie returning from an ankle injury to grab the Swans` second at Vicarage Road before on-loan Frank Nouble came off the bench to score his first senior goal. Craig Beattie (calf) also returned from his lengthy lay-off to take his place in the matchday 18. Ashley Williams was deployed in a holding midfield role for the clash but he is likely to move back into the heart of defence for the clash against Derby. Full-back Angel Rangel is back in contention after his stint in the treatment room nursing a thigh injury and is pushing Neil Taylor all the way.
