James McCarthy: Everton "confident" ahead of Swansea City trip

James McCarthy had admitted that Everton are feeling "confident" ahead of their trip to Swansea City in the Premier League next weekend.

The Toffees made it three league wins in a row with their 1-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday, lifting them up to 11th in the table.

The midfielder told the club's website: "There's been a big improvement, obviously. I think the main thing is now that we go on a winning run and so far, so good.

"But we won't get carried away, we'll take it a game at a time and next up is Swansea, who could be pushing for the European places.

"There's never going to be an easy game in the Premier League and they are a good side, but we go there confident. We know we've got a good enough squad in this environment and we know we need to kick on now."

The Toffees go to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
