And Sonny Perkins’ late equaliser, the teenager coming off the bench, means that Leeds are another team in the draw and needing a replay. Cardiff were denied, having been 2-0 up at half-time. Another exciting tie.

Should Wolves be fully in the draw? Their manager certainly thinks they wuz robbed.

Three non-league teams in the draw. Wrexham are through, after winning at Coventry, while Boreham Wood and Chesterfield need to win their third-round replays to join them in the fourth round. Will Wrexham pull a big enough team for their owners to board a Lear Jet and come over? We await such news.

Preamble

It’s been quite an FA Cup third round weekend, with a couple of shocks paired with some high-scoring intrigue and some decent fare all round. Now perhaps you remember why these knockout competitions are such fun, right? And there’s still more to come, with City facing Chelsea right after this, but first, the fourth round draw, taken from the One Show slot, meaning we are denied the sight of Tracey Ullman pulling the balls from the bag with Romesh Ranganathan.

Instead, Mark “Mark Chapman” Chapman will do the draw with Emile Heskey and Karen Bardsley, both former FA Cup winners.

Here’s your teams and their numbered balls
