Garry Monk promises "mammoth" performance

Swansea City boss Garry Monk has promised that his players will produce a "mammoth" of a performance against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Swans were eliminated from the Europa League by Napoli on Thursday, and Monk wants his men to bounce back from the disappointment by boosting their survival hopes with victory over Palace.

Tomorrow's encounter at the Liberty Stadium will be City's last fixture for two weeks due to the FA Cup next weekend, and the 34-year-old has rallied his troops to mark the occasion with a rousing effort before the break.

"The idea is to take the disappointment from going out of the competition into Sunday's game," he told reporters.

"Hopefully we will get the reaction that we want after our disappointment.

"I will request my players give one last mammoth effort before we get a two-week break."

Swansea, who sit 12th in the Premier League table, four points adrift of the relegation zone, host the Eagles at 4.30pm.
