Carlos Carvalhal Happy to be Going 'Home' After Swansea Book FA Cup Clash With Sheffield Wednesday

Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal is relishing a return to former club Sheffield Wednesday in the fifth round of the FA Cup after his team hammered Notts County 8-1 in a fourth round replay on Tuesday, describing the upcoming trip to Hillsborough like going 'home'.

First half braces from Tammy Abraham and Nathan Dyer set the Swans on their way, while a maiden strike from 20-year-old debutant Daniel James completed the scoring late on.

That sets up an away tie against Wednesday on 17th February. And despite leaving the Sheffield club by 'mutual consent' shortly before Christmas, 52-year-old Carvalhal still has strong feelings for the team he managed for two-and-a-half years.
