Nuno Espirito Santo’s side showed the different arrows to their bow during four games in a short space of time, which concluded with a comprehensive performance and result against Brentford. The FA Cup treated Wolves well last season, as they beat Premier League opposition in Stoke City and Liverpool away from home. The top flight’s bottom club are the visitors on Saturday and having not conceded a goal in the previous cup tie ties this season, Nuno will be hoping for another hearty display from his side.
The Opposition
Carlos Carvalhal has been in the Swansea job a little over a week but has already experienced both ends of the emotional rollercoaster involved in a relegation battle. Four days after departing Sheffield Wednesday, Carvalhal moved up a division to bottom side Swansea and quickly oversaw a victory over Watford. However, on Tuesday Tottenham were 2-0 winners at the Liberty Stadium, leaving the Swans four points from safety. City haven’t won an FA Cup tie since January 2015 at Tranmere Rovers.
