Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup says that he is aware of Newcastle United's threat but believes that his side can win this weekend if they play at their "best" level.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has urged his team to be at their "best" against Newcastle United this weekend.

The Swans sit just one point below the Magpies in the Premier League table but Laudrup is aware that anything can happen in the fixture.

"If we are at our best we could get three points or just one but there are loads of factors that can affect this game," said Laudrup.

Meanwhile, Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has claimed that striker Papiss Cisse could be unavailable for selection due to an unresolved row with the Senegal Football Federation.
