Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup: 'We have more to lose'

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup believes that his side are under pressure heading into their League Cup tie against Crawley Town.

The Welsh outfit take on their lower league opponents this evening but Laudrup is under no illusions that his team will ease through to the next round.

"It's not a very good game to play," said Laudrup. "When you play a League One team everyone expects you to win because you are Swansea and you play in the Premier League.

"You have much more to lose. It puts pressure on everybody. The players can't consider that this is just the Capital One Cup and not the Premier League. Everyone knows the Premier League is the daily bread but we want to go as far as possible in the cup."

The Swans travel to the Broadfield Stadium for tonight's meeting.
