There was a bit of added spice to the FA Cup third round clash between Fulham and Aston Villa at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The Whites earned promotion to the Premier League at the expense of Villa in the 2018 Championship play-off final at Wembley.
But a year later, Fulham were back in the second tier, with Villa replacing them in the Premier League following a second, more successful visit to Wembley in the play-off final.
Fulham spent big in the summer that they went up, but the big-money signing failed to save them from relegation.
Villa spent big last summer too and comparisons were made between the two sides.
And with Villa no struggling at the foot of the Premier League table, they could suffer the same fate.
The two teams were paired together in the FA Cup third round and once again it was Fulham who got the better of their Birmingham rivals, with Anthony Knockaert and Harry Arter scoring the goals to hand them a 2-1 win.
And former Spurs man Jermaine Jenas paid Fulham the biggest compliment he could when analysing the game on Match of the Day.
Jenas said: "Quality was the biggest thing I saw with Fulham. They looked like the Premier League side.
"Listening to Dean Smith's interview he made changes. Did he take it seriously or not? It didn't seem that way unfortunately.
"They fall into a similar boat to what Brighton are in really. Premier League survival is their priority and the changes were made accordingly.
"Fulham played some really good football. There were a couple of wonder strikes which won the game."
