Monk tells Swansea to play with freedom against Everton

Swansea City boss Garry Monk insists they can face Everton without the pressure of expectations.

Swans claimed a first win in six league games with a 2-0 victory over Leicester last weekend, but Monk knows the size of the challenge ahead as he once more comes up against his former Swansea manager Martinez.

"We beat them before but that was in the cup and the league will be a different situation," Monk said,

"Goodison is a really tough place to go but we go there with confidence after an important win against Leicester, which was a bit of justification for the lads.

"We are not expected to get anything from the game, but we are sixth in the league and have good momentum.

"We can go there with freedom and put on a performance that warrants some points."
