Roberto Martinez is hoping to give Saturday's 3,000+ travelling support a day to remember

The Swansea City manager leads his team out against the FA Cup holders on Saturday afternoon hoping to seal a place in Round 5 and create one of the reported cup upsets of the weekend.

After coming through the banana skin that was Histon in Round Three Martinez has said previously that he is happy to be classed as the underdog in the fixture against the side that lifted the famous old trophy back last May.

Portsmouth were held at home by Championship opposition in Bristol City in Round Three and the Swans will be hoping to go one better than the Robins by removing Portsmouth from the competition.

Backed by 3,000 and more of their own support, Roberto also wants to give them a day to remember as he told the Evening Post "Of course they are favourites, but the opportunity is always there for an upset and our aim is to go there and try to be a handful for Portsmouth," he said. "We have been in great form, we've shown we can play great football, so hopefully we can give the fans a day to remember."

A further 70 tickets for the tie will go on sale at the Liberty Stadium today when the ticket office opens at 10am.   Tickets are available on a strict first come first served basis and only to personal callers who will be entitled to buy two tickets.
