The Swansea City manager could create history this afternoon if his side complete a league double over Cardiff City – no side has manged that in all the history of the Welsh derby.

โI respect them โ they have a terrific manager and some terrific players and we know thereโs a threat there.” he told Wales on Sunday

โWe were outstanding at their place earlier in the season and weโre looking for a similar performance today.โ
