Swansea City manager Garry Monk has said that his team will be in for a difficult match when they face Stoke City in the Premier League on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old led the Swans to a 3-0 win against Cardiff City in his first game in charge last weekend, but is wary of the threat Stoke will pose at the Britannia.

"Everyone talks about their style, but I think they've tweaked it," he told reporters. "They have been in this league a long time now, and we're under no illusions about how tough it is going to be.

"It isn't an easy place to go and they will want the points as much as we do. We have to build on Saturday's win and the players are focussed and ready to go.

"But at the same time we can't look beyond the next game and think too far ahead."

Swansea are currently 10th in the Premier League table.
