Part of the excitement of any cup draw for a football fan is the knowledge that just about any club can be paired with any other when they’re drawn out of the hat.

Supposed minnows can be paired with hot favourites for the trophy, or local rivals may need to battle it out… but not this season.

It quickly became clear how it was slanted towards the big teams.
