Worthington Cup 2002-2003 - Eternal Allegiance

Here's the draw for the third round:

Blackburn .v. Walsall
West Ham .v. Oldham
Newcastle .v. Everton
Wigan .v. Man City
Sheff Utd .v. Leeds
Crystal Palace .v. Coventry
Ipswich .v. Middlesbrough
Birmingham .v. Preston
Arsenal .v. Sunderland
Burnley .v. Tottenham
Liverpool .v. Southampton
Wimbledon .v. Rotherham
Man Utd .v. Leicester
Oxford Utd .v. Aston Villa
Chelsea .v. Gillingham
Fulham .v. Bury

Looks like United have a good tie here, but I doubt they'll be fielding a first team squad. Could Wigan or Oxford provide upsets here?

Many of the Premiership teams field a good side, it's just the ones that do really well in Europe that don't.

It's a chance for other teams to get into Europe and chance for smaller teams to win something for once.

André_ea · 10-29-2002, 04:03 AM
