With the news of Dean Smith's appointment as Aston Villa boss during the international break, many Villa fans have been dreaming of a promotion to the Premier League under Smith's guidance. 

Smith left Championship rivals Brentford in favour of a move to join his boyhood club and he was joined by former Villa captain, John Terry, who joined as assistant coach to Smith for the rest of their campaign this season.

The new boss' first game in charge is at home to Graham Potter's Swansea side who are just outside the play-offs in what has been a solid start in their quest for an immediate return to the Premier League.

The game will be played in front of a capacity crowd at Villa Park with many fans eager to see how Smith fare's in his first game in the dugout.

But how did Villa fans react to the game being a sell-out?
