After a great performance and an even better result against Aston Villa, this fixture might be considered a luxury bonus for our season and one where, perhaops, the result is not too big a deal for some of us.

On the other hand, a victory would be most welcome, if only for the fact that we have stuttered in cup competitions over the years and haven't had a decent run in far too long.

So, I am looking forward to this one, at least maybe the team will be relaxed, after all it was a largely unfamiliar line up that won that vistory and one of two of those surely deserve to be in the squad.
