SOUNDBITE: (English) Garry Monk, Swansea City manager (on the international break):

"It's never easy after international breaks, it does disrupt...your preparations because I lot of them come back later on, for instance this week, you get probably two or three games preparation with them, but obviously the rest of the group have been preparing a lot longer than that. These are the decisions you have to make, see how they are physically, mentally and how well they did in those games, and make sure there's nothing from that and you select the side from there."

"No we look at it...no different to any other game. We're there of course to win the three points, Hull will be doing the same but...Yeah we're in good form at the moment but form can change very quickly as well so we're mindful of that. But really it's just trying to push on with our own agenda, focus on ourselves, respect the strength that Hull have and try to put a good performance on to try to get those three points."

"I watched their game against Chelsea and I thought they were unlucky actually, to be fair in that game I think they performed extremely well. They'll be tough, we've always had good games with Hull, always close encounters, always a close, physical game with them. But like I said they do have quality there to hurt us if we're not on our game but if we're on point and we're ready and our attitude is spot on and our football is good enough then i'm sure we can come away with three points but we realise how difficult that is."
