What’s Hot and What’s Not from the FA Cup fourth round draw

NOT – Where’s the glamour?

It was hardly the most inspiring FA Cup draw there has ever been.

The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United host lower league opposition at home for the second successive round, while the likes of Sutton United and Lincoln City haven’t been given a Premier League incentive in their respective replays.

People will wonder why the FA Cup is beginning to lose its glamour and prestige – they’ll look at this fourth round draw and realise why.

You’d expect the majority of the top sides to once again rest players in round four, which is not what the FA and the sponsors want to see happen.
