I can imagine a lot of tougher draws than Palace at home - the most important is to avoid the 3-4 best teams and get a home-draw

Home to a PL club. Standard draw
Yep.

Pros and cons to keep drawing PL sides - but at least mostly not top 6/8 PL sides - at home. But, as usual, all that will be focused on by ABU's will be 'another home draw for United'. Conveniently ignoring that, in a draw including teams from as low down as tier 4, we once again got a PL team.

Not the best draw, you'd want something where you could obviously rotate a bit more but at least it's at home and some other decent teams will be out early.

Would prefer a non premier league team but Palace at home is winnable

A real sugar daddy derby cup tie between City and Newcastle Sky will hype that to the max.

Slightly surprised to see our game v Palace is one of the 2 picks for Sky. Newcastle-City the other.

Pool at home against lower league opposition. Some things never change.
We are up against it tonight. Hopefully our second team holds out. It will be nice to see proper runouts for Doak and company but I fear it’s just not going to be our night.

Can’t see upsets in the Pool or Man City games. Newcastle’s XI is shite and Leicester’s play style will play right into Liverpool’s hands. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Very good talent is Mcateer! Having a great season so far in the championship for Leicester.

Foul on Tsimikas not given, goal scored. Then clear penalty to Doak not given. Feck this cup right off. They can have Man Utd or Oil City win it again.

Leicester's defence is utter shite. They'll probably concede 5-6 here.
If it wasn't too see more of Doak, Quansah, Elliot and Endo I would say feck this cup. They don't deserve Liverpool's huge name in it.

Europa run is fine for us.

Joao Pedro misses an absolute sitter against Chelsea. Why did he try chip that instead of just putting it in the corner? What a criminal mistake by Sanchez to pass the ball straight into the feet of Pedro. Chelsea need a proper keeper.
