We’re in the draw for the next round
There should be no underestimating the importance of being in the draw for the next round. With Crystal Palace, Watford and Everton through we have to fancy our chances at Wembley if we manage to get past United.
It will be a massive incentive to know our opponents in advance. After our recent comeback against Everton, they will be hoping to avoid us. The two clubs have a rivalry at the moment, the fans hate each other and a chance to get another one over Everton would be huge incentive to get to Wembley if we got them in the draw. The players will also be aware that this isn’t the FA Cup’s strongest year, with a lot of big teams already out. If they can get past United, this could be our year in the cup.
