Swansea defender Bartley hopes for Wembley start

Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley hopes to face Bradford City in the Capital One Cup final.

Garry Monk has played twice as many games as Bartley this season but the former Arsenal youngster has impressed in his five appearances for Michael Laudrup's side.

"I hope I've done enough to be involved," said Bartley.

"It's a massive game and one that I want to play in.

"The reason I came to Swansea is that I want to play games and I'm not going to lie, I'll be massively disappointed if I'm not playing.

"I feel I've done myself justice in the games I've played this season and hopefully that will be enough to get the nod.

"It would be my first experience of a cup final, like a lot of the boys, and it would be a huge occasion for me."
