Swansea City must show determination and believe they can wade through the difficult start to their campaign, manager Paul Clement said after Tuesday's 2-0 defeat by Manchester United in the Carabao Cup.
Swansea's exit from the cup marked their fourth loss in five games across all competitions. They have dropped to 15th in the Premier League, level on points with three teams lying below them but out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
Swansea showed impressive home form under Clement last season but the Welsh side have lost five of their six home matches so far this campaign.
