Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin is hoping for domestic cup success this season as his side prepare for Tuesday’s EFL Cup tie against Peterborough.

The Swans won the EFL Cup (formerly the Capital One Cup) back in 2013 in what was a huge achievement for the South Wales club.

Now, speaking to the Daily Mail, Guidolin has claimed that he’d love Swansea to have a good cup run this season, whether it’s in the EFL Cup or the FA Cup. He said:

I think my squad is strong enough if we don’t have injuries. We can be focused on the Premier League and the cup. The cups in the UK are important and I want to respect this attitude. We hope to go a long way and have a fantastic FA Cup, to try and stay in all competitions.

Swansea endured miserable cup campaigns last campaign, getting knocked out of the League Cup by Hull City and then suffering a third round FA Cup exit at the hands of League Two Oxford United.

Guidolin will be hoping to challenge much more convincingly this time around, starting with a win against Peterborough on Tuesday night.
