The two for me are Arsenal v Utd. Yes I’m a gooner, but it pairs the most successful cup teams together
And Liverpool v Accrington Stanley. For those of a certain age, in your best scouse accent “Ian Rush said if I don’t drink lots of milk, when I grow up I’ll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley” “Accrington Stanley, who are they?” “Exactly!” Edited at 11:50 AM. |

It wasn't the lad who said the famous lines, but another lad in the advert
Arsenal v Man U , we see that kind of game every week , that's nothing like a stand out in my opinion Other games worthy of big mention Tamworth v Spurs Chelsea v Morecambe ( could literally stop Morecambe going bust) a couple great local derbies for the minnows Leeds v Harrogate Millwall v Daggers And then Everton v Posh could see Ashley Young playing against his son A great draw and a huge pay day for plenty of teams

Thins the herd for the rest of us
yes some massive paydays for the smaller away clubs 45% of say a 50-60k gate... kerching Bromley attract a decent @3k per home game but they will trouser 45% of a 52k sell out at SJP Edited at 11:05 AM. |

Arsenal will be pleased with a seemingly easy tie.
Stand out for me is Accrington Stanley. What a day those players will have!

The thing is that when a side becomes good, the opposition will set up to put men behind the ball, congesting the last third and make it difficult to play ‘tippy tappy’ football.
This was very effective in the later years of Wenger and all of his technical players tended to run out of ideas, whilst having no plan B. The Arsenal of today can most certainly play pretty Football with the likes of Saka, Odegard, Martinelli etc, but also with the size and tactics of the players, the also have a ‘Plan B’ At set pieces. They also have three of the best Center Backs in the Premiership in Saliba, Gabriel and the now recovered Timber. Plus they have Ben White, another Center back. Arsenal used to be regarded as a bit soft. Nobody could level that at the side of today, in fact, the exact opposite. They seem in some ways comparable to the Leeds of Don Revie when it comes to professional fouls and bending of rules when necessary, but capable of excellent football when the time is right. They are now a worthy adversary of City and Liverpool for the first time in many years and are not playing to make friends. The side finally has a ‘Spine’.
