Town fans have the chance to catch striker Tyreece Simpson in action this evening when his loan club Swindon take on Premier League champions Manchester City in the third round of the FA Cup at the County Ground live on TV (ITV from 7.30pm).

Simpson, 19, who is on loan with the Robins for the season, has enjoyed very successful spell with the League Two club up to now, scoring 10 times in 23 starts and one sub appearance in all competitions, his most recent strike coming in New Year’s Day’s 5-2 hammering of Northampton.

The frontman, who spent time with City, the side he supported growing up, prior to joining Town’s academy, is contracted to the Blues until this summer with the club having an option for a further season.

He has made four league appearances as a sub for the Blues in addition to two Papa John’s Trophy starts and one appearance from the bench.

OwainG1992 added 13:40 - Jan 7 If he performs well in this game it will get people talking. I was discussing with some fellow fans the other night that I think it's best he stays there for now rather than come be 4th choice. Maybe a top performance will have us thinking he should be getting a chance here.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 20:57 - Jan 7 Simpson isn't getting a look in (not his fault), but if we are looking for a right back, that young Swindon lad looks very handy.

BobbyBell added 11:48 - Jan 8 I watched the match and to me and I agree that the stand out for Swindon was their right back Kaine Kesler Hayden. He is 19 but looked so at home and very confident against City's front line. He is on loan from Villa and looks to have a huge future. I'm sure he's being watched by many clubs.
