Kuqi all set for Swansea start

The Finland striker was on the bench for the midweek stalemate against Coventry after signing on a free transfer from German Second Division side TuS Koblenz earlier this week.[LNB]A lack of goals has been the Swans' Achilles heel this season and boss Paulo Sousa is hoping Kuqi will make a difference, with the much-travelled 33-year-old set to replace Gorka Pintado in the starting line-up.[LNB]Sousa must decide whether to recall Leon Britton to the squad after omitting the diminutive midfielder against the Sky Blues amid speculation he is set to leave the club.[LNB]Playmaker Andrea Orlandi came through the game against Chris Coleman's side after recovering from a thigh injury and is expected to keep his place, but a doubt remains over Cedric van der Gun (hamstring).[LNB]Joe Allen will be hoping to get the nod over Jordi Lopez in midfield but defender Albert Serran (hamstring) remains on the sidelines.[LNB][LNB]
