Some of you of similar vintage to myself might recall a television advert of a good while back went something along the lines of ‘Would Fleetwood wood, would Fleetwood’?
You can be damn sure they would – have taken your hand off for the draw they have nabbed in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup – Arsenal at home.
The Premier League champions and current leaders and – there’s a viable argument to be made – currently the best team in Europe.
Elsewhere, either Xabi Alonso of Chelsea or Liverpool’s Andoni Iraola will see their first chance of a trophy disappear as quickly as it appeared after the pair were slated to face off next time out.
Brighton’s ‘reward’ for brilliantly dumping shambolic Manchester United out of their best chance of winning a trophy is a date with the other side of the city while there are also all Premier League ties between Bournemouth and Aston Villa and the clash of Fulham and Crystal Palace as well as Everton v. Newcastle.
The Carabao Cup fourth round draw in full is:
FLEETWOOD TOWN v. ARSENAL
MAN CITY OR NORWICH v. BRIGHTON
EVERTON v. NEWCASTLE UNITED
BOURNEMOUTH v. ASTON VILLA
SUNDERLAND v. BRENTFORD
FULHAM v. CRYSTAL PALACE
BRADFORD v. PETERBOROUGH
LIVERPOOL v. CHELSEA
