Swansea boss Monk not taking Cup lightly

Swansea City boss Garry Monk says they're taking the Capital One Cup seriously ahead of their tie with Rotherham United.

Monk is expected to rotate his squad ahead of Saturday's league visit from West Brom but he wants to keep the momentum going after opening top-flight wins against Manchester United and Burnley.

"It's been a great cup for us and I want us to do well again," Monk said.

"When you've won two games in a row you want to keep that momentum going and this is the next game for us.

"A cup run gives everyone confidence and we don't want to give anything up easily.

"We want to fight for everything, every cup game, every league game."
