Michael Laudrup hints at changes

Michael Laudrup says that he will use his squad to ease the pressure on first-team regulars ahead of a busy second half of the season.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has hinted at possible changes ahead of today's game against Everton.

The Swans put one foot in the Capital One Cup final on Wednesday with a 2-0 win in the first leg of their semi-final with Chelsea.

Laudrup's men also face an FA Cup third-round replay against Arsenal on Wednesday, but the Dane insists that the Premier League is still his top priority.

"The league is the most important competition," Laudrup told reporters. "It's not a question of resting players, it's more about using the squad we have.

"The main thing is to pick a competitive team and I know that whoever plays on Saturday will do a good job.

"The only way we can deal with the schedule is by taking one game at a time. Tomorrow is a league game and we are already in a good position. But we still need 11 more points to reach the 40-point mark and that is our aim."

Swansea currently sit ninth in the table.
