Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan wants to make amends for his biggest disappointment of his career by reaching the Capital One Cup final.
The American played in every minute of the club’s run to the 2010 final before being replaced by Brad Friedel to play Manchester United in the final.
Guzan is now the club’s number one ahead of Shay Given and is hoping to help Villa get one step closer to the final with victory against Swindon Town this evening.
“Being left out for the final was one of biggest disappointments of my career,” he told the Independent.
“It was quite frustrating and a difficult pill to swallow.
“But that’s behind me and I think that has made me a stronger goalkeeper and a stronger person.
“If we can get back there to Wembley again, that would be great.”
For the Swindon clash Villa will be forced into one change following the suspension of Joe Bennett, who got sent off in the 1-1 draw with Norwich.
