Michael Laudrup believes a trip to Tottenham this weekend is the perfect contest for his Swansea side after securing their first cup semi-final appearance for 48 years.
Laudrup's men reserved their spot in the Capital One Cup final four with a 1-0 win over Championship side Middlesbrough on Wednesday night.
The Swans join Arsenal's conquerors Bradford, Aston Villa and either Leeds or Chelsea in the penultimate round next month.
Laudrup said: "It's great to have the semi-final there, but I am happy we play Tottenham away on Sunday.
"That's perfect, because I know on Sunday everyone will be focused once again.
"It would have been much more difficult to play a home game against a smaller team on Sunday or Saturday, so Tottenham away is perfect."
Swansea City have not reached a semi-final since losing 2-1 to Preston in the 1963-64 FA Cup, when they were known as Swansea Town.
Despite off-field financial troubles at the time and a second division relegation battle, their cup run was highlighted by a stunning quarter-final victory over Bill Shankly's Liverpool.
