The third round of the Rumbelows Cup gets underway tonight with eight ties tonight and eight more tomorrow. Tonight there’s a Midlands derby with Aston Villa playing Birmingham while the pick of the matches tomorrow sees north London rivals Arsenal travel to Tottingham.
Dream Team managers will be hoping that most Premier League teams make it through to the fourth round so that the possibility of scoring points continues. Apart from the all-Premier League games, Newcastle and Stoke are probably most at risk of going out given their recent form.
