The draw numbers
1 Bournemouth

2 Manchester United

3 Sheffield United

4 Wolverhampton Wanderers or Southampton

5 Barnsley or Chelsea

6 Everton

7 Manchester City

8 Leicester City

Play the rags now and put them out or hope for an easier draw like Bournemouth or just settle for a home draw?

Everton home to US!!!

South Coast Derby Bournemouth Southampton

Rags away to Leicester

Would have preferred a home tie but onwards and upwards

That's as tough a draw as we could have got, we'll have to be right at it. On the plus side Rags should be going out v Leicester.

Tough but with no fans there not as tough as it once was. They also are poor at the back so we can beat them. We will be playing them twice in two weeks now.

It’s the least important competition we are in. We’re not going to win the quadruple. We’re in the Carabao final already and the PL and CL are much more important. Hopefully we’ll progress but it’s not the end of world if we don’t.

That's the spirit

6th round ties are weekend of 20th March.

There seems to be some fair amount of pessimism here, I'm really not sure why,
Ok, they're a good side, but nowhere near our standard.

Agree with this
Prem oppo away is always a tough ask But they conceded 4 yesterday they’ll not score 5 against us

Bang on

We play Everton at Goodson next Wednesday in the PL .

Tough but tougher for them. They have a good manager and a hot and cold team.

Indeedy. No-one would have wanted to pull us out of the hat and we were never going to get paired with the red shite either.
Lets get the prem game in hand sorted, and look to the cup game in a month when we should have Ake, Serge and ginger bollocks back - if they can get in the team

It's a tough draw, but the hardest draw was getting us.

Would have preferred to get the scum

But, I have quite a few mates that are Everton fans - and what they have said is basically giving up

Just shows how far we have come - nobody wanted to get CITY
