Roberto Martinez is dreaming of a Premiership hat-trick after his side were paired with Fulham in the FA Cup

The Swansea City manager will be looking to follow up victories over both Hull (Carling Cup) and Portsmouth (FA Cup) when Fulham come calling in the middle of February.

Yesterday's 5th Round draw gave the Swans home advantage in the tie and Roberto believes that although the visitors are likely to start as favourites, the Swans are taregtting a win which would propel them into the quarter-finals of the competition.

Speaking to the Western Mail after the draw was made, Roberto said “We must look to do it again.

“Everybody looks for the top four in these situations, but to have a Premier League team at home in Fulham is special.

“It gives us that chance to let our supporters celebrate the achievement of beating Portsmouth and then enjoy being in the fifth round.

“We know that Fulham are favourites, but it is another test for ourselves outside of the pressure to get league points.

“After beating Hull and Portsmouth this year, to make it a third Premier League scalp would be a great achievement.

“We need to try to reach the level of performance we produced at Portsmouth."
