Last updated : 29 November 2008 By Lee Cashmore
Swans will probably be without 3 key midfielders on Sunday against Cardiff. Two of the players are Ferrie Bodde who is injured and Jordi Gomez who is suspended. Britton will be out with a back injury, the Swansea City boss Roberto Martinez says "It shouldn't be all about the derby."

He also Said "We want to be in the Premier League and you don't achieve that by beating your rivals,"

"You achieve being in the Premier League by being consistent, by having a squad that is good enough to compete at this level and that takes a lot of work and effort.

"Those two words are big ones in the dressing room."

Swansea have already beaten there Welsh rival in the Carling Cup this season.

Martinez also stated "It's a big derby and a big game, but for us every game in this division is a big game,"

"Everyone is really, really looking forward to the occasion.

"They've got huge players, a lot of Premier League players on loan and that's the opposition we are going to be facing.

"We are not under any illusions in that respect.

"To be one to remember, we need to make sure we perform accordingly to our standards that we set this season.

"But it's only three points and that has to be the reality of it."
