Garry Monk relishing chance to go up against Jose Mourinho

Swansea City manager Garry Monk believes that he can learn from Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho when the two clubs go head to head on Sunday.

The Swans welcome the Premier League title challengers to the Liberty Stadium with the club sitting six points above the relegation zone.

"You have to embrace the challenge of going against one of the best managers in the world," Monk told reporters. "His record proves that, and for someone like myself it's great. It's why you want to get into management.

"When you come up against challenges like this it's a learning process. Maybe at the end give they might give you a word of wisdom."

Swansea have five games remaining in their campaign.
