Swansea City defender Neil Taylor has targeted maximum points from his side's upcoming fixtures against Hull City and Aston Villa.

The Swans have lost their last two matches in the Premier League to drop down to ninth place in the table.

However, Taylor is confident that the Welsh outfit can return to winning ways over the festive period, starting with their trip to the KC Stadium this weekend.

"You want a Christmas period to be good, that's the key for your season and I think that we can do well," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "We've got Hull and Villa and I think they're two games we'll aim to get wins against."

Taylor has made 17 appearances for Swansea this season, as well as representing Wales on four occasions.
