Aston Villa’s 2019 continues, but with a break from league action. The games in the Championship have came thick and fast, and now Villa head into an FA Cup Third Round clash with Swansea City - the third time Dean Smith will have faced Graham Potter and Swansea in his reign thus far.
This will be a chance for Dean Smith’s team to get back to winning ways and progress in the FA Cup ahead of a return to Championship fixtures.
Expect some light rotation as Smith’s Villa are intent on progressing, winning and taking this competition seriously.
A decent crowd at Villa Park should be followed by a decent audience viewing from home. Let’s get this done Villa.
