Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup says the enormity of tonight's Capital One Cup second-leg semifinal clash against Chelsea hasn't been lost on him.

Laudrup admits it is difficult for him to grasp the magnitude of the game for Swansea having only been in charge for seven months, but the reaction of others at the club has left him in little doubt.

He said: "I'm looking forward to it. It is something special.

"I have been asked a lot how important this game could be, but I'm not the right person to ask because I have only been here seven months.

"It is much better to ask the people who have been here five, 10, 15 years or more.

"I have our wins at Anfield, the Emirates and Stamford Bridge but this is different because we are a club who don't often get the chance to compete for trophies and suddenly we have a possibility.

"I imagine even for people who have been around this club for a long time this must be one of the most important games.

"Maybe one or two could be bigger, but it would be very high on the list."
