Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal expects a 'normal and good reception' as he prepares to return to former club Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup

Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal believes he will get a 'normal and good reception' when he revisits former club Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Carvalhal's two-and-a-half-year Wednesday spell came to an end on Christmas Eve, but he made a shock return to management in south Wales just four days later where he has since transformed Swansea's Premier League fortunes.

And now he makes a swift return to Hillsborough for a fifth-round FA Cup tie, with the Portuguese admitting that he feels he is 'going back home'.

'I have said I am an Owl and I will be an Owl forever,' Carvalhal said, referring to Wednesday's nickname.
