Swansea boss Garry Monk admits his side face a difficult challenge when they host Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

The Gunners have been in fine form of late and Monk believes the Swans will have to be at their absolute best to get a result come the weekend.

"They have had a fantastic start to the season," Monk said.

"They have an excellent squad full of world-class talent and they are definite title contenders.

"We've had some good games against them in recent years and had two good results against them last season.

"We know that when we are at our best we can give anyone a game in this league and we'll need to be at that level on Saturday. If we do that we are in with a chance of getting the result we want."
