Well at least it is at home, although as Man City 'only' have Bournemouth at home the following Saturday, they can afford to put out their first team against us!

Strange how those very draws of Chelsea vs Bournemouth and Bristol City vs Man Utd were "leaked" over half an hour before they were officially made.
Perhaps the draw kept bringing up West Ham vs Leicester City and Arsenal vs Man City a few times or the other way around a few times before they eventually got what they wanted.
It's a surprise tbh that us and Bristol got home draws. However perhaps they thought to have the big 4 all at home would have been too unbelievable.

That was fabulous fun. When I was young the Football League ran the game in this country...until their ineptitude & complacency turned them into a 2nd rate joke living off scraps.
Now their showpiece competition is taken seriously by nobody whatsoever & they're forced to kiss the arses of whoever can be bothered to sponsor it.
First it was a laughable first round draw with teams being drawn twice, then they had a draw in China at 4 in the ****ing morning & now this bollocks. A cup draw is the easiest thing in the world. A few balls in a bag for **** sake!
Serves them right. They deserve all of it. ****s.
It's just a shame the game as a whole has to suffer for it.

The Palace match is on the Saturday, so I don't see how it can be affected by the cup game, unless they decide it should be played on the Monday, and that won't happen because Sky have a game on the Monday already, Everton v Swansea. That game would have been subject to their Carabao cup fixtures.
Edit: Maybe if we'd been knocked out and Everton or Swansea were in the quarter finals, they'd have swapped the TV games so ours would be on the Monday and theirs on the Saturday.

I can't bring to mind any or many of your many thousands of post with which I've liked but you are absolutely right on this one. It's an ok draw. We are at home; it's attractive opposition and will attract interest ; we/they can choose how strong a side to put out; you can't win any competition without beating a top side and Man City are the top side. It's fine.

So will we no doubt. If our mixed side are anywhere near as shit as they were in the first half against Leeds, we’ll get battered.
