Williams wary of Spurs threat

Defender Ashley Williams believes Sunday's trip to Tottenham will be a major test of Swansea's improved away form.

It took Swansea until January 2 to pick up their first win on the road in the Barclays Premier League when they won 2-0 at Aston Villa, but the Swans have won three of their last four league games away from the Liberty Stadium having collected victories at West Brom, Wigan and Fulham, with defeat to Stoke the only blip in that sequence.

But the trip to White Hart Lane to face a Spurs team targeting Champions League qualification for the second time in three seasons is likely to prove a bigger hurdle, something Wales international Williams is well aware of.

The 27-year-old said: "They are a very good team and one I enjoy watching, they play good attacking football and I'm sure Spurs fans have been having a good season watching their team.

"They've had a bit of an indifferent run but they have some quality players who can hurt you. People have seen our development away from home and how we have tried to manage those periods when teams come at us.

"We are working hard all the time to try and learn from the games we've played. We've got a good balance away from home but this is going to be a massive test for us. We've worked hard for our clean sheets and we'd love to get a few more before the end of the season."
