The sides played out a 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium on January 1, with Danny Graham's injury-time equaliser earning Michael Laudrup's side a point.
Swansea head to the Midlands almost a year to the day as the second team in two days to visit Villa Park, with Crystal Palace earning a surprise 1-0 win there on Boxing Day.
Laudrup's charges will now look to inflict a sixth home league defeat on Paul Lambert's side, who have lost four consecutive top-flight fixtures.
"We were hanging in there in the first half, but in the second half we played quite well and we finished the game quite strongly," Britton said after returning from a broken toe to play 90 minutes in the game.
"When it's 1-0 you are in with a chance of getting something. We believed a bit more in the second half.
"We were disappointed to lose but we can take things from this game for the Aston Villa match. We can be encouraged by the performance.
"Villa lost too against Crystal Palace so they will be looking to put that right at home.
"But we have to go there and be confident. We have won there in the past so we know what it takes to win there."
Paul Lambert is also without Joe Bennett (back), Jores Okore (knee) and Charles N'Zogbia (calf).
