Another chance to renew old acquaintances on Boxing Day as Swansea travel to St James' Park to take on Exeter, managed by ex-Swansea captain John Cornforth.
Cornforth has certainly turned the fortunes round at Exeter since taking over from Noel Blake earlier in the season and the home side are within touching distance of a play-off position at the moment.
But on the same front, they are only six points ahead of us in the league and a win on Wednesdau will see us close to within 3 points of the Grecians.
Colin Addison will be able to welcome back Kristian O'Leary into the starting line-up although it is hard to say who he will replace if he does come back in. The obvious choice seems Gareth Phillips although there is a chance it could be Sharp or Cusack.
Other than that possible change, I would guess it would be an unchanged Swansea line-up from the one that beat Bristol Rovers as they look to climb further away from the bottom of the table.
Earlier this season, Exeter were beaten 4-2 at the Vetch despite falling behind early in the game. That was at the close of the John Hollins era and now Colin Addison will be looking to see that his era takes another step in the right direction.
We started the Christmas programme well with a win, let's hope we continue it.
