Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa
Top of Div 2 vs top of Div 1 as my main side travel to meet my caretaker side in the quarter finals. It's sad we have to meet this early as even the next round - had we both made it - would have meant I was guaranteed a shot at the final. As it is, I am guaranteed to have a team in the final four - but which it'll be is to be decided.

The game has been made harder by Matt stepping in for Wolves on the day. A top manager and one I always struggle to beat so this is now going to be an even trickier fixture than playing a random. We will certainly setup a little differently.

We know all about Wolves and their strengths obviously and they have a whole host of former Villains. Ribeiro was a one time starting defender for us whilst Lawson and Vickers were key U23 players. Sylla was also in the U23s but the one who should get the best reception is Sam Lammers who was top scorer for the club a few seasons back. It'll be nice for the away end to show their appreciation.

In team news we have Josko Guardiol suspended so he will be missing which is a rarity. other than that it'll be full strength with no chances taken.

Whatever the result it'll be bittersweet. Just hope its a good game with plenty of abs gained.
