Swansea boss Laudrup knows no-one gives them chance against Man City

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup accepts their underdog status against Manchester City.

City have managed 22 goals in their past four home games in all competitions and Laudrup has told his players they cannot afford to have any fear.

He said: "They are the best home team in the league with 26 goals in six games so we know it will be a tough afternoon, but we can only surprise them.

"Everybody expects City to win by some goals because they've done that against everybody including Manchester United and Tottenham, so I think we will go there to do the best we can to get something out of it and whatever happens we will still present a competitive team.

"You can't play with fear in football. There is a lot of respect, you have respect for everybody, the ones on top and the bottom, but never fear."
