Swansea left-back Neil Taylor is relishing the challenge of playing in his first Welsh derby. Taylor - who was playing for Wrexham this time last year - has taken advantage of injuries in the Swans back-line to cement his place in Brendan Rodgers' back four and is looking forward to the clash against Cardiff on Sunday. "For me it'll be my first taste of a derby down here so it'll be good" he told the Swans official club website. "There's always an excitement for the crowd but for players you just try and treat it like another game, but we all know that this game is a bit extra special". Taylor is also confident another member of the squad can fill in for the influential Darren Pratley after he picked up his fifth booking of the season in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. "That is a downside, especially for him and the boys" he added. "But we're going to need the whole squad this season if we want to do anything at the top. So someone is going to step in this time around and get their chance".
