Will Buckley reckons Albion fans want to see Arsenal at The Amex.

But the winger is ready for a tough fourth round, whoever wins tonight’s replay.

The Gunners host Swansea City with a trip to Sussex a week on Saturday the prize for the winners.

Buckley said: “Speaking for the fans they probably want Arsenal to go through.

“But both teams have been brilliant this season.

“Swansea have improved massively and it would be a massive game but a hard game if we played them.”

Victory for Swansea would set up a reunion for Albion goalkeeper Casper Ankergren in the next round.

The Dane, who came into the side for the third round win over Newcastle, was Brondby's keeper when current Swans boss Michael Laudrup launched his managerial career with the Danish club.

I'd be happy with either, both play good football, and it will therefore be a good test of our style against similar styles in the top division.

Bob, if we draw at the Amex, I would prefer a trip to the Emirates stadium.

Whoever it is (Arsenal or Swansea) I sincerely hope Kuszczak gets the nod this time - I never did understand the decision to play CA in the last round. If he wants to get back together with Laudrup he can do in the bar after the match...

Both Arsenal and Swansea will want to get through,as it may be their only opportunity for silverware this season. I expect them to both field full strength teams for tonight and a week on Saturday.
A replay at the Emirates could be quite an expensive do, so let's not mess about lads, and get through at the first time of asking!
