Swansea left-back Neil Taylor insists the Swans are not getting carried away by their solid start to the Premier League season.

Garry Monk’s side were left sitting in sixth place in the table following Saturday’s goalless draw at Everton, where they survived the second-half dismissal of Jonjo Shelvey.

But any idea that Swansea can maintain their momentum and push for a place in Europe is something Taylor is not ready to consider.

The Wales international said: "We are not thinking about anything like that. It's week by week.

It is a crazy league and you have to take it week by week.

"We have got a couple of massive games now against Arsenal and Manchester City and they are games where if we can get clean sheets it would be brilliant.

"But we are not getting ahead of ourselves. There are games this season we should have gone on to win and games like Saturday where we have nicked points away from home at good places.

"It is a crazy league and you have to take it week by week. I think teams are going to jump up a few places or drop down a few places every week. Top six? I don't know, but we will keep striving to do well."
