Swansea City striker Danny Graham has claimed that he is itching to get back into the Liberty Stadium to kick off the new Premier League season.
The Welsh outfit, who recorded a 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes in the club's pre-season tour of America, are ready to embark on their second season in the top flight.
"It's our second season in the Premier League and everyone is as excited about it as we were before the first," Graham told the South Wales Evening Post.
"To go back and play at the Liberty and get the feeling of our home turf is going to be great.
"We have two good games against Blackpool and Stuttgart and we want to get two positive results. Everything we are doing is about trying to get ready for Queens Park Rangers, so roll on August 18."
The Swans will be heading into the new campaign under new manager Michael Laudrup following the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Liverpool.
