Cracking draw – COYW!
Shame we have bot got a home draw but then this is a winnable match and also an opportunity for some of the players who are not automatic choice foe league matches
Shame it is not a home game, but away to PNE is a winnable game and chance progress and for the fringe players to get game time and stake a claim for 1st team places. We need to make sure we win this game, a cup run is always good for a team like Fulham.
Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, avoid one another and all, apart from Spurs, get home ties against eminently beatable opposition.
Steve the top 6 were seeded this year to specifically avoid each other. Was to do with the new champs league format
As the previous comment why do they get thru so the BIG teams won’t play each other typical FA money again and FA Greed so the smaller clubs ie Barrow Walsall won’t get a good pay day playing a big club if they don’t want to play in it ie fielding a reserve XI then don’t play in it it will give the lesser clubs ie Fulham Brighton, Brentford to get to the final but all the FA want is a Man City v Liverpool or Arsenal Final it stinks without the lesser clubs ie Fulham etc there would be no premier league
