A lot of ties in that draw would have been mouth-watering...had this been the 1970s.

From the BBC:
Before the main draw there was a rehearsal, with some interesting pairings. Here are some highlights: Accrington Stanley v Arsenal Liverpool v Reading Rochdale v Everton Huddersfield v Chelsea Blackpool v West Ham Manchester United v Watford |

Also our first ever fixture as AFC Wimbledon was a friendly at Sutton United. There is so much history in the side.
Do we really want to see Man Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool coast through their easy home draws? ![]() And it's not even really a repeat of the 1963 Amateur cup final is it? |

Always dead interesting to see the balance between potential/sensible pick shouts and 'my club has some good draw so should be picked' posts.

PNE v Arsenal and West Ham v Man City are nailed on picks. I reckon the BBC will go for the former and put it on the Monday night. BT then take West Ham v Man City and put it on the Saturday night.
After that, it's very difficult to call. I'd go Everton v Leicester, Norwich v Southampton and Sutton v Wimbledon. But i'd be shocked if those last two were picked. Liverpool and Man Utd will probably be picked, so let's hope they turn out to be decent games. |

Will BBC do a Final Score and move 8 games ??
Last season had a full fixture list on the Tuesday after the weekend. This season is clear |

Let's be honest the BBC should really follow their remit and show both the Barrow and Sutton United ties live and give some of the TV money to the smaller clubs rather than the Premiership and Championship teams already served well by the TV deals.
I would also choose the Preston/Aresnal tie. |

One of Liverpool and Everton will have to move from the Saturday as they are both at home.

I'm a pessimist, I think the BBC will go for PNE v Arsenal and put it on the Monday night. But I suppose it could be Sunday 16:00 if the BBC fancy a Friday night game instead. Ideally I'd like BT to get with a second pick and put in the Saturday 17:30 slot.

Worth saying, of course, that PNE v Arsenal is the invincibles derby.

There is not a chance in hell that Sutton v Wimbledon would be picked.

Swap Bolton with Norwich-Southampton and that's my prediction too, although the times may vary.

Why is everyone so obsessed with Norwich Southampton as a TV game? Is it just because the draw is quite poor anyway
