Sunderland v Leeds (repeat of 1973 final - arguably the finest of all)
Wimbledon v Liverpool (repeat of 1988 final)

Accrington V Utd, chuffed for them, hope they can get past Yeovil

Of the minnows to contest the next round, Blyth Spartans come from the most humble origins, plying their trade in Northern Premier, the seventh tier of English football. The Spartans play at Croft Park, a pitch that holds just 4,500 spectators and will host Championship side Birmingham.

Conference Premier side Dover Athletic have been rewarded with a home tie against Premier League side Crystal Palace. Dover Athletic's home ground holds 5,745.

There could well be a few huge shocks as the premier league teams play on the 26th and 28th December and then on the 1st of January with the FA Cup match on the 3rd of January. The small teams will have an advantage especially the home ones

The Spartans, Dover and other similar teams who have drawn at home will possibly forfeit their home games in return for lion size gate-takings playing away.

I don't think that the clubs can do that anymore unless the home ground is unsafe for the fans. they will then play the match at a neutral ground mac
