Kenny Jackett is relishing the match with the League’s top side at Southend in 11 days time but insists he won’t be resting his players in the FA Cup on Saturday.

”I think Southend have won nine of their last 11 matches and their 3-0 win at Bristol City on Saturday was exceptional,” he said. ”People are telling me that we’ll take 1,500 fans to Essex so it’s set up really well.

”It’s going to be a hell of a game, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be resting anyone this Saturday. The FA Cup is a competition we want to do well in.”

This match on 12th November has now been made all-ticket. Tickets are now on sale at the stadium and there is no limit to how many each person can buy.

Tickets prices are: adults £16.50; OAPs £10; under-16 and students £8.

The Swans travel to Stockport for this year’s Round 1 tie and Jackett is unlikely to make many changes to the side that beat Chesterfield 5-1 last weekend.

”We managed to get through in the LDV despite resting a number of players and giving others a chance.

”As far as Stockport goes, there’s not that much travelling involved and it’s not as if we’ve got midweek games either side.

”We want to push on from our performance against Chesterfield and I don’t think it’s worth tampering with the side.”
