Kyle Bartley has insisted that Swansea City are not worried about facing West Ham United striker Andy Carroll ahead of Sunday's meeting between the two sides.

Carroll has played a key role in West Ham victories over Swansea at Upton Park in the last two years, but Bartley is confident that Garry Monk's side can deal with the threat posed by the England international, who has started the last three games for the Hammers.

"We've got nothing to fear, whether it's Andy Carroll or whoever we face in the Premier League," the Swansea defender told reporters.

"We know what we've got to do against certain players and hopefully we'll do that.

"Sam Allardyce has changed his ways a little bit and the fans are happier with that, but we're expecting all sorts of different challenges from the game."

Carroll has made four appearances in the Premier League this season, but is yet to find the net since returning from injury.
