    Made tonight on Sky Sports 4 & SSN after the Newcastle v Morecambe, presumably about 10 - 10:15ish providing the match finishes at full time.

    Who would you like?

    Personally, a home tie against lower tier opposition would be great.

    Teams already through to the third round draw:

    Man United
    Man City
    Chelsea
    Arsenal
    Tottenham
    Swansea
    Wigan
    Saints
    Bristol City
    Burnley
    Fulham
    Leicester
    Derby
    Leeds
    Huddersfield
    Hull
    Liverpool
    Norwich
    Peterborough
    Swindon
    Sunderland
    Tranmere
    West Ham
    Birmingham
    West Brom

    Playing tonight:
    Accrington v Cardiff
    Aston Villa v Rotherham
    Everton v Stevenage
    Morecambe v Newcastle
    Nottingham Forest v Millwall
    Stoke v Walsall
    Watford v Bournemouth

    An away tie against a team who we can beat that isn't too far to travel: Bournemouth (although they most probably won't win tonight), Swindon or Bristol City.

    In reality we will get Leeds away again!

    Best case scenario is:

    Man United v Man City
    Arsenal v Spurs
    Chelsea v Liverpool

    Then I don't really care who we get ;)

    I'd love Bournemouth away, but I don't think they'll win either. I wouldn't mind someone like Tranmere, let's get a cup run going!!

    I agree with both of you. If we could get a 4-0+ win, it would also increase confidence around the players. I'm really positive about this season, it's going to be excellent. It's still crazy to think back a few years, and compare it to now.

    Away to B'mouth! Other than that a home game against lower league side. I miss the midweek games of L1.

    I think we will get West Ham at home simply for the reason that we are playing them in the league soon. Don't really care who we get, as long as it is at home.

    Home draw against a lower league side is fine with me.

    Is this a wind up? On 3 visits to Tranmere I have seen us lose 4-3, 2-1 and 2-0. Anyone but Tranmere, please.

    OK Ball 17 v M U would be great. We then have the opportunity to beat them 3 times in a season and maybe 4 if we meet in the FA Cup!!!
