Wednesday were largely underwhelming at Ewood Park and Monk may be tempted to make changes to his side. Without Barry Bannan and Massimo Luongo, they set up in a 4-5-1 formation with Kieran Lee making his first start since August.
So what changes could be made for the team to face the Swans? Let’s take a look at eight potential tweaks Monk could make.
1. Start Fernando Forestieri
Some of Wednesday's best moments under Monk have come with two up front, and with Forestieri having appeared off the bench three times since the end of his suspension, the time might be now to reintroduce him to the first team fold and offer some flair playing off Steven Fletcher.

2. Murphy for Reach?
Jacob Murphy hasn't started for Wednesday since Garry Monk's first game in charge but might get a chance on Saturday given Reach's lack of bite of late. A goal in Saturday's defeat follows up a couple of bright substitute appearances. Photo: Lewis Storey
3. Move Adam Reach into the middle
By his own admission Reach hasn't been as effective as he may have liked in recent weeks and at times has looked isolated out on the Wednesday right. Some of his best games at Hillsborough have come with him playing off the striker - could a move to a more central role work? Photo: Lewis Storey
4. Bring back Moses Odubajo
It would be a bold move, but Monk has proven he's not afraid to make those from time to time. Wednesday's back four have been solid but Odubajo was signed as a wing-back who offers more than either Morgan Fox or Liam Palmer going forward. Is more needed in the opposition half? Photo: George Wood
