Two clubs chasing FA Cup glory will do battle today in a cup match between the Tranmere Rovers and Swansea City. The third-round clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Prenton Park in Birkenhead and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports 1.
What They're Saying
Swansea City manager Garry Monk (via Southwales Evening Post): "I just hope justice is done for us and for football because I am losing a bit of faith. When you are constantly battling these situations, it's hard for the players not to lose faith. We are talking about big moments in games and continually decisions are going against us."
Tranmere Rovers manager Micky Adams (via the Telegraph): "I think managers find their level and maybe mine is firefighting in League One and Two. I'm not worried about that. It might have grated with me a few years ago, but now I don't care as long as I'm working. It's like that Ghostbusters song, isn't it? 'Who ya gonna call?' If clubs are in trouble, I seem to get that call. But Tranmere is a great club and the remit is pretty simple: We can't get relegated this season."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With the future of Wilfried Bony in question, Swansea City turn to Bafetimbi Gomis atop the formation. The 29-year-old has just two goals in 18 appearances across all competitions.
Tranmere Rovers' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Williams; Thompson, Holmes, Donacien, Holness; Power, Laird, Jennings, Shuker; Odejayi, Fenelon
Swansea City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tremmel; Richards, Fernandez, Amat, Taylor; Carroll, Shelvey; Dyer, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Gomis
