Swansea City boss Luke Williams feels West Bromwich Albion head coach Carlos Corberan is destined to manage in the Premier League.

The Swans travel to The Hawthorns on Saturday as they go in search of a second Championship win of the season.

They come up against a Baggies side who reached the play-offs under Spanish boss Corberan last season, but Williams says his first team regulars can give West Brom a run for their money after a much-changed side were beaten 1-0 by Wycombe Wanderers in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

"It's going to be an incredibly tough game because they’re a very good side and I think they have a top manager who is going to be a Premier League manager in the near future," said Williams.

"It’s going to be a huge test for us. We're up for that and we're not shying away from the challenge.

"I expect us to make a really good performance away at West Brom."

Swansea will be without Andy Fisher, Sam Parker, Aimar Govea and Josh Ginnelly for the trip to the West Midlands.

Discussing the injured players, Williams said: "I don’t know exactly how long it’s going to take them to get up to full speed but they all seem to be progressing in the right way."
