Michael Laudrup has played down the significance of the Swans Capital One Cup tie against Liverpool

The Swans come face to face with their former manager Brendan Rodgers this week with the prize for the winners being a place in the quarter finals of the competition won by Liverpool last season.

When asked if facing Rodgers added an extra spice to the occasion, Laudrup said: “I want to win every game we play, not only the ones where we are against ex-managers. There was one of those 10 days ago (against Roberto Martinez’s Wigan) and we won that.

“But for me this is nothing different, I want to win all the games.

“I know there is something special when you see former players and coaches, but for me it is Swansea against Liverpool, not against Brendan Rodgers or Joe Allen.

“It’s at Anfield and it is a big game in a competition where if we win we can claim a place in the record books of Swansea City.”
