Cardiff's Stephen McPhail (hamstring) while midfield colleague Seyi Olofinjana (groin) is a doubt.
On-loan Arsenal duo Aaron Ramsey and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas are both expected to start for the Bluebirds.
MATCH PREVIEW
Dubbed yet again as the 'biggest south Wales derby of all time', both Swansea and Cardiff know that the stakes are getting higher as promotion to the Premier League remains firmly within their grasp. Separated by just two points, it is too close to call who out of the Swans or the Bluebirds will be flying highest come May.
If third-placed Swansea win on Sunday, not only will they move five points clear of their bitter rivals, but they will create a piece of history. Such is the pride, passion and ferocity surrounding this fixture, that neither side has ever been able to pull off a derby double in the same season. Swansea's win at Cardiff in November has given them the opportunity to do it in front of their own fans, a prospect Bluebirds' supporters simply cannot stomach.
Swansea's much-admired brand of possession football hit top gear during Tuesday's win over Bristol City, and prompted Robins manager Keith Millen to say they are without doubt the best passing side in the division. But it is also defensively that they excel. Keeper Dorus De Vires has already kept 14 clean sheets this season and is well on course to match last season's total of 25, which won him the Golden Gloves award.
Cardiff, on the other hand, have not kept a clean sheet since they beat Coventry on Boxing Day, and perhaps more worryingly have slipped from top to fifth after only winning four out of their last 14 matches.
