I do wonder if drawing one of the big teams at home could be a blessing in disguise, if it happens. West Ham's first mistake today was showing up thinking they could breeze to a win, and we never gave them chance to recover from that massive misjudgement.
Drawing a poorer side is easier on paper, but the pressure makes it harder in practise.

Going to repost the teams as we've turned a page.
In the hat:
Reading
Blackburn
Liverpool
Aston Villa
Bradford
Arsenal
Preston/Man Utd
- There'll be a maximum of five other Prem teams in the quarter-finals, a minimum of two.
- We're in with a chance of facing Steve Clarke and cup bogey side Reading.
- All eyes on the Villa tomorrow to see whether they'll be in the hat.

If Villa v Leicester ends up all square tomorrow, would the replay affect our fixture at Villa Park on 3rd March?
I heard on Radio 5 Live during Palace v Liverpool that league fixtures that week would have to change if they finished all square, but that could be because of Liverpools involvement in the Europa League for the next two Thursdays.
Anyone know?

I'd have thought it'd be Europa League related, as you say.

'The sixth-round draw takes place on Monday night (February 16) at Deepdale, where Preston North End will be hosting Manchester United for the final fifth-round game of the weekend.
It will take place at 7.35pm, just before kick-off, and will be officiated by none other than England manager Roy Hodgson.'
Come on Woy - give us a good'un
I can go a step higher than Aston Villa
