Swindon Town welcome Burnley to the County Ground this evening for our Capital One Cup clash under the floodlights.
Vital Quotes:
“I`ve watched the clips. I don`t know exactly his record but every two games I see him celebrate so it means he`s on fire.
“He`s not a very elegant player to watch but he`s a competitive guy, he`s got physical presence, in the box he`s a killer and we have to be really careful.
Paolo Di Canio on Charlie Austin

Troy Archibald-Henville is set to start in defence as Darren Ward is cup tied by Millwall. Giles Coke and Adam Rooney will miss the match as they are cup tied by their parent clubs.

Austin is dangerous as we all know, it’s up to him to get his defence sorted to keep Charlie off the score sheet.
