Swansea City manager Garry Monk insists his club has a lot to play for in the final seven fixtures of the Premier League season.

The Welsh side sit eighth on the table after 31 matches and are just a draw away from breaking their points record in England's top flight.

However, Monk suggests he will not be satisfied by passing the 46-point mark as he wants to finish as high as possible in the standings.

"It's what we're fighting for. It's what our focus is. A lot of people have questioned what we've got to fight for in recent weeks," said Monk.

"We're not in a relegation battle and we're not fighting for Europe but that's what it is. It's one of the targets that we set at the start of the season and if we could achieve it at some point during the season - we've got a great chance now.

"We're one point behind it with seven games to go and hopefully we can surpass it and really try and push on from there. We have an opportunity to do it on Saturday and there's no time to waste. Let's 100% focus.

"I'll say more towards the end of the season but you set targets yourself as a manager. I spoke to the group at the start of the season and asked them what they wanted to improve on and their ambitions.

"We sat down as a group and I gave my views, they gave theirs and came up with different types of targets. We're on course for most of them so hopefully when we get to the end of the season I can reveal a few more to you."
