(Reuters) - Swansea have struggled to get going in the Premier League this season but manager Paul Clement says they are laying the foundations for a League Cup run after beating Reading on Tuesday. Clement was particularly impressed by his side's defence, which has kept four clean sheets in five away games, including three in the Premier League this season. We are keeping things tight and when you are not conceding many you always have a chance to go and win games," he told the club's website (www.swanseacity.com). Clement hoped that his team would be drawn at home in the next round after coming through away fixtures at MK Dons and Reading. Swansea, 14th in the Premier League with five points from as many games, host Watford on Saturday.
