There is still an either or in the north at the moment though after Accrington Stanley's home game against Paul Simpson's Shrewsbury Town was called off on Tuesday night due to a waterlogged pitch at the Crown Ground, the rearranged date for that tie being Tuesday the 20th of October.
Down in the southern section of the draw there are still plenty of big names left with Charlton Athletic, Norwich City and Southampton all looking to put recent troubles aside in order to have a day out at Wembley. Those three teams no doubt all hoping to get lowly Hereford United when the cards are placed on the rack.
