Michael Laudrup is confident that Swansea City can match the Premier League's biggest sides.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has revealed his belief that his side can "stand up" to the league's big clubs after their 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Laudrup was delighted that Swansea were able to get a result after leaving top-scorer Michu - who came on to score - on the bench for the opening 55 minutes.

"To play against Arsenal and allow ourselves to have one of the league's top scorers on the bench and still stand up to one of the big teams in the Premier League, it is great to see," Wales Online quotes Laudrup as saying.

"It shows the depth of the squad is there and we will need it. It puts one more game on the table for us in January, when we already have a lot of games, but every footballer likes to play games."

Swansea will travel to Brighton & Hove Albion if they beat Arsenal in the replay.
