Eastleigh will beat Bolton.

Tie of the round for me, bar Liverpool's trip to Exeter, is Leicester's meeting with Tottenham. Two good sides, high flying, who like to play the game the right way.

Birmingham v Bournemouth, just realised what happened the last time we had such fixture

Grimsby so close to knocking out Shrewsbury tonight. A win in the replay would see Slade up against his old club.

Wow what a game, full credit to Salford city the scoreline does not reflect the game at all, both in ET and Salford were on top for about 90% of the game, so many great chances, deserved a win. The second was caused by exhaustion tbh, some of these guys have full time jobs, one was late because he was babysitting and missed the team bus, his dad had to drive him!

Scunthorpe get through and get their ticket to Chelsea. Given Bradford's ability to cause an upset last season, Mark Robins will be quietly relishing going up against Mourinho right now you'd expect.

Exeter are going to welcome a team with 0 senior [central] defenders. This'll be tasty :wink:

Wonder if Aston Villa can pull off an upset and win against Wycombe

Aside from Eastleigh's inevitable upset (their ground is just over the road from where Portsmouth were based when they reached two finals last decade), the other non-PL fixture which promises to be a cracker is Karanka and Dyche's meeting at the Riverside.

I reckon Exeter will give Liverpool a couple problems but I suspect Liverpool will scrap through tonight.

Great result for Exeter. The money they'll get from being on TV twice and a share of the Anfield gate receipts is absolutely huge for them, plus for their fans it's obviously a big day out at Anfield.

Well deserved, it will keep the club going for another few seasons after the last time they got a trip to Old Trafford which saved the club from going bust.
