Just the seven ties to follow today but there’s no lack of intrigue in prospect. Lincoln City gave Everton a fright at Goodison Park in last season’s FA Cup so, despite an iffy run in League One, they’ll fancy their chances of toppling the Premier Leaguers at a sold-out Sincil Bank today. That would leave Marco Silva in a heap of bother after Everton’s unconvincing start to the season. And how about Forest Green at Bournemouth, or Sunderland at Burnley? Could Cambridge upset the odds at Swansea? Can Portsmouth do any better at QPR than they did in the FA Cup last season even though QPR are playing even better now?
And who will prevail in the Yorkshire derby between Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday, who drew 2-2 in each of their meetings last season before Rotherham were relegated from the Championship? Meanwhile in today’s only all-Premier League encounter, Brendan Rodgers, who says he is trying to establish a winning culture at Leicester, will be hoping his team dispose of Newcastle, who could do Steve Bruce a power of good by following up their victory at Tottenham by winning at St James’ Park – but how many will be there to see it?
