The Swansea City manager comes face to face with Leyton Orient at the Liberty Stadium aware of the challenge that lies ahead after the League One side knocked our fellow promotion candidates Norwich City out in the last round.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a decent football side who try to play some good football,\u201d Rodgers told the Western Mail.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey come here on the back of a couple of great results and they\u2019ve got a good young player who I know very well in Jimmy Smith, who I worked very closely with at Chelsea.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe scored in the last round and I know he\u2019s got the ability to do that from the midfield so it\u2019s going to be a tough game for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to the game,\u201d added Rodgers. \u201cWe had a terrific performance and result in the last round and we will prepare with the same detail and with the same respect to our opponent as we would every week.\u201d<\/p>\n
