Swindon v Aston Villa
The Robins have already seen off one Premier League and two Championship opponents in their run to the last 16.
This really does have all the ingredients for a giant-killing with beleaguered Villa surely dreading their trip to the County Ground. An away win wouldn’t earn huge plaudits yet defeat will pile the misery on at a club with just two victories in their last 25 league matches. Talk about a no-win situation.
Swindon are buzzing after a 4-0 away triumph at second-placed Stevenage on Saturday. Paolo di Canio is eyeing another promotion, this time from League One, but there have still been plenty of moments for upsetting the established order in the cups.
The Robins beat Wigan in last season’s FA Cup and knocked out Stoke already in this season’s Capital One Cup run. Villa are below both those teams in the Premier league so the warning signs are loud and clear. In the circumstances, best odds of 23/10 (Coral) on the home win look overly generous.
