Swans In Hat For Fourth Round

Last updated : 08 January 2005 By Richard Evans
Swansea have impressively managed to fight their way into the draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup, with the prospect of playing one of the Premiership's big fish. With Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all still in the draw, Jackett will be hoping that the chance of playing such a side will spur his side on to achieve victory in the replay in two weeks time.

Despite conceding a cruel late goal to deny them victory at the Madjeski Stadium, Swansea will surely be happy with a draw that gives them a slightly better chance of seeing Reading off in front of a bumper crowd at the Vetch. Over 3700 visiting fans made the trip to Berkshire, on what was almost a day to remember for a stunning FA Cup scalp.

Swansea will be one of three sides representing League Two in the Fourth Round draw, with Boston also holding League One Hartlepool to an impressive away draw, while Yeovil claimed a fantastic 3-0 victory at Championship Rotherham. The draw takes place on Monday afternoon.
