FA Cup 5th Round Draw 2019 - Newport (a)

What an opportunity for an unfancied team to win FA Cup this year - even the possibility that there will only be one PL team in quarter-final! But really Wolves, Palace, Brighton should be targeting this as great chance to win something - as will we be of course.
 
Just a reminder folks but nobody has picked up on my earlier post.
NO REPLAY - The game is to the death!
 
I make some simple but interesting probability calculation guys:
Suppose that big teams (us, CFC/MU) win their matches against lesser opponents, City will have:
1/7 (14,3%) chance of meeting CFC/MU in the quarterfinal.
6/7 x 1/3 = 2/7 (28,6%) chance of meeting CFC/MU in the semi.
6/7 x 2/3 = 4/7 (57,1%) chance of meeting CFC/MU in the final.

Imo our second string should be good enough to start & beat lesser opponents. This means we have fairly good chance of having only one energy sapping match on May 18th when the season is already over. This could bode well for us in the title race
 
Don’t they televise 7 matches per round now? More a case of pick out the one not shown.
Anyway after the viewing figures success last Friday, it’ll clearly be Chelsea on bbc1 Friday night to kick the weekend off..
