In similar fashion to the FA Cup the third stage is where the top two divisions come in with one of the standout ties being Conference Premier sides Stevenage Borough and Oxford United battling it out for a home match against Chelsea. Like the West Londoners holders Liverpool are also on the road, the Reds drawn up against the winners of the Wycombe Wanderers v Dagenham and Redbridge match.
Carlisle's potential home tie against Sheffield Wednesday could see them face a side who are having a particularly hard time of it this season in their regional section of the FA Premier Academy League. The Owls sitting second bottom in a ten-team table having won only one of their twelve league games to date as they ship goals at the rate of two per match.
The Cumbrians can't be thinking about Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday yet though with their big second round match against Mansfield to come on Tuesday evening in a 7pm kick-off at Field Mill. United facing a Town side who have done well this season with five wins, two draws and three defeats from their ten league games played to date.
