Garry Monk believes that the Swans need to believe in themselves this season

Monk - the Swansea City captain - says that individual stars may not be in place at Swansea but their team unity means that they can give anybody a game as they start their final preparations for the Premier League.

Speaking to the Evening Post, Monk said "We are going to be coming up against top, top players this season,

"That's why they are in the Premier League, but we are there now and I think we have good players as well,

"We have got this far and we have to believe in ourselves this season.

"Yes, the sides we are up against are going to have some big stars, but our strength is that we are a team.

"We might not have the individual stars in our squad, but as a team I think we can give anyone a good game."
