1 West Bromwich Albion/Reading
2 Leyton Orient
3 Coventry
4 Wolves
5 Port Vale
6 Charlton
7 Torquay/Birmingham
8 Manchester City
9 Newcastle United
10 Liverpool
11 Preston North End
12 Stoke City/Tamworth
13 Derby County
14 Southampton
15 Blackburn

18 West Ham
19 Portsmouth
20 Wigan/Leeds United
21 Sunderland

26 Colchester
27 Nuneaton Borough/Middlesbrough
28 Aston Villa
29 Barnsley/Walsall

I'd take anybody at home to be honest, although lower league option would obviously be preferable.

Please keep all reaction here. Cheers.

As you said st, I would also prefer a home draw. Although lower league opposition can be seen as an easy path through to the final. None of these ties are easy. The draw I'd prefer is sunderland at home.

I'll take anyone at home.

Preferably a low league team so we can rest a few players
