Carver's men have lost their last six matches and are still in danger of relegation, standing seven points above the drop zone with five games still to play, although Leicester City, Hull City and Sunderland do have a game in hand on them.
The visit of Swansea will again take place against a backdrop of Newcastle fan protests aimed at owner Mike Ashley's running of the club, with a section of supporters vowing to boycott the game after doing the same in last weekend's match with Tottenham.
AshleyOut.com, who have organised the boycott, want supporters at the game to 'stand up to Ashley' in the 34th minute - a reference to the £34 million in unused funds revealed to be in Newcastle's accounts.
"We will have 89 minutes to have a go at it," Carver said. "It [the unrest] is affecting people.
"It affected me and the players [last week]. I didn't want to use it as an excuse and I don't have a problem with protests.
"We have been preparing for it [the game] like a World Cup final."
Papiss Cisse and Moussa Sissoko are suspended and Rolando Aarons (hamstring), Steven Taylor (Achilles), Paul Dummett, Massadio Haidara and Cheick Tiote (all knee) are also unavailable.
Manager Garry Monk expects his team to bounce back and not be distracted by the goings on at St James' Park.
"My experience at this club is every time we have a setback we come back stronger," Monk said. "That's what I've been telling them this week. It's a chance to answer questions of us.
"We've had some good results there, it's a great place to play your football. The players are used to the big grounds and stadiums and hopefully we can use the crowd against the team if we perform well but we need to focus on ourselves.
"You have to concentrate on your football. It's not my focus, whatever goes on off the pitch it's their business, mine is to concentrate on Swansea.
"I don't know enough behind the scenes what's going on, I only see what you do on the TV but it's speculation."
