Crazy fixture congestion for us that week so it will surely be a similar team. A home game against lower league opposition would suit. 

[s(k)aturation]

 

Tranmere, tougher local opposition.

[Anubis]

Bristol Rovers or Coventry. Ages since we’ve played a Bristol team or Coventry.

[Einch]

Anyone except Leicester, City or the winner of Wolves and the Salford mob. The kids could do most of the others. 

[aws]

Anybody at home. 

[Trumo]

As with the last round, I'm not going to bother calling it. I usually call for us to be drawn against 2 specific teams, but one of them is out already. Which is the lowest ranked side left in the draw? They'll get to play at the Etihad.

[alles ist gut]

Let’s not draw Millwall - not for footballing reasons, because they don’t do footballing, but because they’re irredeemably hateful bastards.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Bristol or Shrewsbury at home. We will get City or Chelsea.

We've just had one, you can't get lucky every round.

[Kevin D]

As strong as we are, I fancy our chances against anyone, anywhere. Once we get rid of Rochdale, this trophy is there to be won.

[VladimirIlyich]

Couldn't care less. We'll just give the kids another go and let them go at it.

[Bjornebye]

Pompey. 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

I'd like Bournemouth at home please.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Been thinking about this more in depth. If we get another home game against a Prem team (apart from City, maybe Chelsea and Leicester) they'll shit themselves about playing their main team and being embarrassed like Everton. They'll not be sure what type of team Klopp will play should injured players return, but they'll know exactly that it will be a good mixture of very good youth players and experience. It might actually benefit us to get a home game V PL team rather than a tricky Championship team away.

Home tie v Northampton please. Matip, Lovren, Fab, Shaqiri, Keita should all be back plus Ox and Clyne if he’s still here, we should be able to put out a half decent team really.

Didn't they beat us a few years ago? 

[The Golden Eel]

Someone shite.

About time we got our revenge against such formidable opponents.  

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Got a feeling we'll get Pompey. 

[alles ist gut]

Chelsea to get Leicester

We get Wolves

Arse to get Spurs

Citeh to get Bury

Like fuck should Clyne be anywhere near this.   The kids got us this game, they should get rewarded, regardless of opposition.
