They've just had the draw for the F.A Cup 6th Round?
Despite 2 of the games in the 5th Round having not started and one still being played, add to that one game was postponed. Luckily the 4 games that have been played produced winners so at least there was a chance of us knowing an actual 6th round tie.
One thing that seems really unfair is that they hold the draw while the Sheffield United v Nottingham Forest game is being played, currently Forest lead 1-0 but Sheff U know that if they win they might be at home to Sheff Wednesday in the 6th Round. Considering they are in relegation trouble in the First Division the cup is probably less important at the moment so they might have eased off in the second half but now they have it all to fight for.
Liverpool have the added incentive of knowing they have a home tie against Everton to come if they win, although I reckon Rodgers will be targeting the Cup and should play a strong team today.
6th Round Draw
Arsenal or Liverpool V Everton
Brighton or Hull V Sunderland
Sheff U or Nottm Forest V Sheff Wed or Charlton
Man City V Wigan
The one game we know at the moment is a repeat of last years cup final, so City will have a chance of revenge but Wigan have already shocked a few this season.
Get some predictions right :)
