Monk: Heat is on Cardiff

GARRY Monk has turned up the heat on Cardiff City ahead of Sunday's South Wales derby, insisting: "The pressure's all on them."
Swansea City make the short trip east knowing defeat would all but end their Championship play-off hopes.
But Monk reckons the weight of expectation hanging around Cardiff's necks is much greater as they prepare for what will probably be the last derby at Ninian Park.
"I think the pressure is definitely on them," said the Swansea skipper.
"They are at home and I know from experience earlier in the season that you feel the pressure when you are at home.
"When you go into a derby game as the home team, you've got to impose yourselves. The one thing you don't want to do is lose on your own patch because there is no worse feeling.
"It's great having your own fans there behind you, but at the same time there is pressure because of the bragging rights at stake.
"Add in this time that it's probably going to be the last derby at Ninian Park and the fact that they are fighting to get into the top two and I think the pressure's all on them.
"We don't want to let our fans down, of course we don't, but the pressure isn't on us because people have been writing us off all season."
Sunday's clash will be the last between Swansea and Cardiff at Ninian unless they meet in the play-off semi-finals.
The chances of Swansea finishing in the top six will be slim if Dave Jones's men triumph this weekend, but Monk reckons defeat would not be terminal.
"We want to win the game because we're looking for a big run between now and the end of the season," added the centre-back.
"But is it make or break? This is a funny league and a lot of the teams who are up there still have to play each other. There are going to be dropped points and it may be that the total you need is not as high as everyone has been saying.
"We know we can't afford to lose many from now on in, but I don't think we'll be out of it even if we lose on Sunday."
Swansea were today awaiting the return of Jason Scotland after their top-scorer played the last 18 minutes of Trinidad & Tobago's 3-0 World Cup qualifying defeat in America on Wednesday.
"Jason played only a small role against the USA, so fitness-wise he should be fine," said boss Roberto Martinez.
"But we will assess him because every time he has been away on international duty in the past, it has really affected his condition.
"It's vital that every player is 100 per cent for a game like this."
The smart money looks to be on Scotland playing, while the feeling is that Alan Tate will shake off an ankle problem in time to return at left-back.
Leon Britton has received treatment for a back complaint this week, but he will play.
