    League Watch
    The 16 remaining teams in the competition are from the following levels:

    Premier League: 9
    Championship: 5
    League One: 1

    Focus on Millwall (some information is courtesy of wikipedia)
    The Lions have reached the semi finals on four occasions; in 1900, 1903, 1937 and 2004. They were triumphant on the most recent occasion, becoming the first 2nd Tier club to reach the final since Sunderland in 1992. With opponents Manchester United in the Champions League, their appearance in the final gave them a spot in the UEFA Cup [Europa league] the following season.

    Cup Run so far:
    Round Three
    Dagenham & Redbridge 0-0 Millwall
    Replay
    Millwall 5-0 Dagenham & Redbridge

    Round Four
    Millwall 1-1 Southampton
    Replay
    Southampton 2-3 Millwall


    Last Season
    They fell at the first hurdle, with a 1-4 home defeat by Birmingham City in Round Three.


    Random Fact
    Millwall’s heaviest defeat came in an FA Cup tie, in 1945-46, when they went down 9-1 at Aston Villa in the Fourth Round 2nd leg. (With no league fixtures until the following season; World War Two having just ended; ties were played over 2 legs. )


    Odds from skybet (Friday Morning)

    Millwall 9/5
    Bolton 7/5
    Draw 12/5



    CAN MILLWALL CAUSE A 'CUPSET?'
