Laudrup not concerned over potential relegation battle for Swansea

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup is confident his side will not be involved in a relegation battle this season.

The Welsh outfit have not win in six Premier League outings with their last triumph coming on December 4 over Newcastle United.

The Swans now sit just four points above the drop zone but Laudrup is remaining calm about his team's recent shortcomings.

"As I long as I can see that there's a lot of confidence in the team then I'm not worried," he told the press.

"I have a lot of respect for the numbers and it could be moments when we are just a few points away from that bottom three.

"We just have to pick up points; especially when we [face teams in the bottom half].

"We know there are some difficult games coming up but, if we do play as we have done in recent games, we will pick up the points."
