All the big teams avoid each other, we get a derby...bit annoying...could be worse I guess.

Eh? Great draw, london derby under the lights, what's not to like??

The fact that Wembley will be half full and they will take the piss big time. Also last time this happened we lost to them 3 times that season.

Man Utd/City, Chelsea and Arsenal all kept apart. Man Utd and Arsenal games will be on TV. Yawn.

This game is sandwiched between Liverpool and United, and either side of that both the Real Madrid games. Cannot see a stronger team than we put out yesterday if that.

West Ham also playing on the Friday against Brighton, and we play Liverpool on Sunday, so game has to be on Wednesday 25th October and they'll be fresh with their strongest line up.

Liverpool on Sunday October 22nd.
West Ham on Tuesday October 24th.

Yeah, we're going to play the reserves and U18s for that game.

At least united also have a cup game before we play them, that is a huge game though so I expect a weaker team than yesterday.

That is mental, a day of rest. I hope they don't alter the fixtures though, much more important to be fresh for Liverpool and united.

West Ham fans already talking about taking 10 000. Buying up tickets in the home end and generally taking the piss. I'll be amazed if the police allow them to have full cup allocation.

Agreed, I can see Poch prioritizing the Liverpool game on Sunday and the Manu game the following Saturday. I don't know if we have a U23 game that week but good chance for the younger players to get some game time and hopefully impress.

Barnsley were given a 5k allocation but only took up 3200
