Mark Hughes has moved on to talk about Saturday's hosts...

"They made a significant investment in the summer - around £50m. It takes a little bit of time for those guys to integrate and maybe that hasn't happened as quickly as they would have hoped. 

"We are only 10 games into the season, though, and it may be a case of them going through a transitional period. But you need points on the board and they will be looking to get wins under their belt."

Swansea manager Garry Monk has said his side will have to be at their best for the match against Arsenal on Saturday. 

"They have had a fantastic start to the season. But we've had some good games against them in recent years and had two good results against them last season.

"We know that when we are at our best we can give anyone a game in this league and we'll need to be at that level on Saturday. If we do that we are in with a chance of getting the result we want."

Mark Hughes is now talking about forward Jon Walters, who has yet to agree a new deal with his current contract expiring in the summer...

"There is a danger that we could lose Jon, but that isn't what I want and it isn't what he wants. There is scope to sit back down, I would have thought. 

"Jon is capable of making an impact as he is right now. We would love to come to a satisfactory conclusion."

Mark Hughes is now giving an injury bulletin. It sounds like an episode of Casualty...

"Marc Muniesa has quite a serious hamstring injury, so he will be out for three or four weeks minimum. Glen Johnson has trained and hopefully he will be available on Saturday. Geoff Cameron will need another four or five days so he is out too. Ryan Shawcross looked fine, which was pleasing.

"Mame Diouf is sore and stiff, as is Jon Walters, who had a dead leg and had to come off. Bojan is OK and will be available."
