Neil Taylor admits that Swansea's priority is Premier League survival.

Swansea City fullback Neil Taylor has said that the club's number one priority is the Premier League, but admits that they are eager to progress in the Cup.

The Swans, who are eight points clear of the drop zone despite being beaten at Sunderland last weekend, will look to bounce back when Chelsea travel to Wales in midweek.

In the meantime, the club are eager to continue their cup success on the road at Bolton this afternoon.

"Of course, Premier League survival is always going to be the main priority, but when you are in a cup you want to stay in it," he told the club's official website. "Every game you play in, you want to win.

"You can see from the last round that we are taking it very seriously. We gained momentum after the win at Barnsley so we will look for the same from this game.

"With the squad we have, there is strength in depth here so it doesn't matter who plays the gaffer knows what he will get."

The Swans had suffered one defeat in eight games prior to losing at the Stadium of Light last weekend.
