Bob Bradley up for the fight at Swansea

Swansea City manager Bob Bradley is intent on helping the club rescue their flailing season.

The Swans find themselves in a precarious position at the foot of the Premier League table having secured a paltry nine points from 14 matches thus far.

Bradley has overseen just one win since replacing Francesco Guidolin in early October but he is not about to throw in the towel as he prepares his players for Saturday's crunch clash with fellow relegation battlers Sunderland at the Liberty Stadium.

"I am going to keep fighting. That's how I work," the American said.

"If I am telling the players they have to look adversity in the eye and have some courage, then I have got to do that too.

"Results are hard to come by when you take over a team who have been struggling, and results when you do that in the Premier League are even harder to come by.

"But that's what I signed up for when I took the job. I knew when I came in this was going to be a big test and it still is, but that's no problem.

"We have to turn it around. We have to step on the field to play against a team who are around us in the table and look to win.

"When you go into a big game like this - in a way a cup final for us - you have got to make sure you have a group of guys who will be ready for that kind of challenge. For sure this feels like the biggest game since I came in."
