Sam Allardyce urges Everton to be focused against Swansea City

Everton boss Sam Allardyce warns his players not to be complacent in Monday's Premier League meeting with bottom-of-the-table Swansea City.

Sam Allardyce has urged his Everton charges not to fall prey to complacency in Monday night's Premier League meeting with Swansea City.

The Toffees have turned a corner in recent weeks as they go into the encounter unbeaten in five games and 10th in the table.

Swansea, meanwhile, languish at the bottom of the standings and have been beaten in seven of their last nine fixtures.

Despite the difference in form, Allardyce wants his players to remain completely focused if they want to continue their promising recent run.

"I'm not expecting any complacency," the Everton boss told Sky Sports News. "It is my big word to the players, that this will not be an easy task, it will be a difficult task, as always, and don't slip up against a side everybody expects you to beat.

"You will only get the opportunity to beat them if you play 100% to your level, which is what we have had to do certainly in the last four games we have played.

"The lads have done magnificently by getting 10 points out of 12, and it has given us a little bit of breathing space but not stopped us being as ambitious as we possibly can."

Everton are also boosted by Yannick Bolasie's return to fitness after 12 months on the sidelines.
