Town WILL NOT be one of the games picked by btsport or the Beeb. Maybe if we'd been at home there may have been an outside chance. But, manure are always on the box so that's one less game
am presuming Chelsea as holders will be on.
Wolves v Liverpool will be another
Woking v Watford
Tranmere/southport v Tottenham

I'd pick the same ones as you Rob.  

I'd love us to get picked, but think our league position (despite recent improvement) will mean it'll still be seen as a bit of a mismatch but not enough of a "romance" clash either.  The top game on your list, to broadcasters, at least has a lower league team who are going well at the top of their league so will be viewed as a better match-up.

Maybe not.
Last season's tie against Derby was not televised breaking a 13yr run.

I think these will be definites:-
Tranmere or Southport v Tottenham
Solihull Moors or Blackpool v Arsenal
Woking v Watford
Wrexham or Newport v Leicester
Wolves v Liverpool
Chelsea v Nottingham Forest

Man Utd always get alot of coverage, so I can see them being on as well

Maybe Bristol City v Huddersfield or Everton v Lincoln

Manure will be on, unless they have won the previous few games, as tv will hope to see Mourhinio come undone.

Are the BBC doing a final score programme again on the Sunday, ?

If they are we might be on that again,

BUT

We will not be a live game.

I think they do it during Round 1 and 2, but from 3 onwards it's full live games. Might be wrong but that's what happened last 2 years.

Wolves v Liverpool and Brighton v Bournemouth will definitely be on, because they'll be so different from the usual Premier League matches they show won't they.

The arsenal and spurs games are guaranteed, great ties. Not much else stands out, although Bournemouth Brighton would really be scraping the barrel!

Think Lincoln are nailed on for it with their recent history. Hope ours is 3pm Saturday to be honest - we’ve got a good chance of being first on MOTD if us and Palace continue in our respective form!

BBC will be kicking themselves if Palace are the first Premiership team knocked out-I can feel it in my waters.
