It will be on ESPN+ mate, they have all the FA cup games this season. It will not be on NBC/Peacock as they do not have the contract for the FA Cup

Thanks. Website said how to watch it in Outer Mongolia but not here.

I've watched Swansea a few times this season and I guarantee if we play like we did against Cheltenham for the majority of the game we're going out. They are a good solid outfit with players that can cause us problems. They also have another bloody long throw in merchant!

Bigger pitch than Cheltenham Paul, will help our game a lot. Agree with you though, Swansea look to be a decent footballing outfit

I hope so but we have to show more than we did in the last round.

Swansea will rest players, promotion is far more important to them than a cup tie.

Watched a couple of their games since the draw was made and they are a well balanced side who I expect to be promoted automatically. Fit, athletic, play decent enough football and don’t concede many. A particular feature of their recent games seems to be accurate long range shooting and goals from their midfielders Matt Grimes and Connor Hourihane, who has been a very successful January signing from Villa.
Graham Potter played a big part in restoring some of that Swansea short passing identity which appeared to have been somewhat lost in recent years and it was considered a blow when he left them for Brighton, but if anything, their new boss Steve Cooper has made them an even more effective outfit.
He was, of course, England U17 manager when he won the World Cup with Phil as player of the tournament and Joel Latibeaudiere as skipper. The latter is now with the Swans. Also coached Raheem when he was Liverpool’s academy coach.
Can’t afford to take them lightly but the incentive of breaking the all time record along with cup progression should be sufficient motivation not to take our eye off the ball.

Is Aguero fit to start this one? Granted he may not be able to play the full 90 minutes at this point, I think this Swansea match is important enough to having him start (if he is fit enough to).

No way Pep is playing kids for this game, Top three teams of Championship table are easily Premier league level plus they will have the motivation to show themselves against us.

We have enough depth to field a strong side while resting key players.

Pep will choose a strong line-up. BUT HE MUST REST DIAS!
