Swansea midfielder warns against complacency

Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton believes his team needs to push on going into the final 10 Premier League games and not allow complacency to creep into their game. The Swans have gained a lot of praise for their attractive style of football this season, with their most recent victory coming against high-flying Manchester City. That success moved Swansea up to 10th in the Premier League table and Britton believes his side must continue to try and take as many points as possible. He told Wales Online: "We want to finish as high as we can. We have no intention of letting our season just peter out, it's not about just making sure we are safe we want to push on as much as we can and try and finish as high as we can. "Of course, after the win over Man City the confidence is going to be sky high because of doing that. But at the same time we have to keep our feet on the ground. "We can't get too carried away. We have to be at our best to beat teams, we can't think we are just going to turn up and win games."

Tough

Swansea could move up to eighth in the table with a win over Fulham on Saturday, but Britton has warned his team about the threat posed by Martin Jol's side. "It's going to be a really tough one. They are very strong, especially at home, a bit like ourselves. I watched them against Wolves on the box the other day and I thought they looked a very good team," he said. "They are an attractive side to watch, they don't just hit it long and they've got some very good players, especially going forward. "But we've picked up away from home since the turn of the year and since getting that first win over Villa we've been much better on the road, so hopefully we can come away with something."
