There will be 32 balls in the drum in the draw which takes place at 8:55 p.m. this evening after the tie at Villa Park between Aston Villa and Manchester United. The ball to watch out for is number
15.

The FA have been unable to attract any personalities to make the draw on this occasion and so the balls will be drawn by Bryan Robson and Gary Pallister.

The 3rd round has had its share of upsets and two Premiership clubs have gone, Sunderland and Derby County both losing at home with Leeds currently drawing at Cardiff. A result at Villa tonight will mean at least one more goes.
