Swansea City manager Garry Monk has warned his players that they will come up against a "determined" Hull City side who are still battling to secure their Premier League safety this weekend.
The Tigers travel to South Wales sitting just three points above the drop zone, while their opponents are in the lofty heights of eighth place and on course to surpass their previous record points total in the top flight.
However, Hull came close to pulling off a real upset against league leaders Chelsea in their last outing, eventually falling 3-2 having battled back from two goals behind, and Monk believes that his side will need to be on top of their game to prevail.
"They pushed Chelsea all the way in the last game, and I was really impressed with them," he is quoted as saying by FourFourTwo. "Hull want to steer clear of the relegation zone, so they will be a determined side coming here.
"But we are focused on winning the three points, as Hull will be. They have always been close encounters between the sides in recent times."
Swansea won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this season, courtesy of Jonjo Shelvey's strike which deflected off Ki Sung-yueng and into the back of the net.
