Laudrup admits Swansea go to Arsenal full of confidence

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup was beaming over the manner of their victory against West Bromwich Albion.

Laudrup is unsure whether his side can replicate the level of performance shown in the opening 45 minutes, but is glad they can head to face Arsenal on Saturday with the pressure off.

"I don't know if it is possible to repeat the first half performance but at least we know we can do better than our best and it pleases me a lot.

"We are doing these things in training day in day out so it is not something that just happens, but to play at that level for 45 minutes, everyone has to be at their best and that is not always possible. But it's nice to see what we can do.

"It is a different game on Saturday, we go up against a very good side with great players who play very well with the ball.

"But it is good for us, there is no pressure on us at all, we go there as underdogs and everyone will expect Arsenal to win, but we go there with four points this week against Liverpool and West Brom so we can go there with confidence."
