Swansea City boss Garry Monk insists confidence is still high within his squad.
Swansea head to the Stadium of Light on the back of successive league defeats to Chelsea and Southampton after opening up with three straight wins.
But Swansea bounced back with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Everton in the Capital One Cup in midweek, the club's first-ever victory over the Merseysiders.
"The morale hadn't gone, the boys are fine," Monk said. "They are at the same level as they were at the start of the season and every game because of the way we've performed.
"Wins give you momentum and it's nice to go into the next game with a win behind you, but we're not concentrating on that.
"We're looking at performance levels every day and in games which have been there every time."
