Trying to predict the outcome of a random draw is a pretty pointless exercise. Predicting the outcome of the FA Cup "draw", however, is a little more interesting.
As I write, there are four Premier League sides left in it, including Middlesbrough, who will replay against Sheffield United, and Portsmouth, currently drawing 0-0 with Preston with a quarter of an hour to go.
Ideally the FA would like to keep the lot of them apart, but that might look a bit suspicious. So if there are any Premier League ties, I reckon Manchester United will be protected with home advantage. Chelsea will probably get an easy away tie, for instance at Bristol Rovers or Barnsley.
One thing I'm absolutely confident about; Manchester United and Chelsea will be kept apart.

Hey! It's 40 years this year since Elizabeth Beresford's first book about the Wombles was published - this was the book that set the whole ball rolling. You going to be celebrating?
