The quarter-finals draw will take place after the matches tonight. The ties will be played in mid December.

Can we just take a moment to laugh at Fullham who were 2-0 in the 45th minute against Derby and went on to lose 5-2!

Sounds like a easy game however we did struggle a bit with Shrewsbury

Another John Obi Mikel cup goal at Pride Park incoming....

Derby away in the next round. Yawn.

Is the semi-final played at Wembley or not?

I think it's just the final but not sure.

Ties to be played 16th/17th December. Maybe we could take Mo Salah up there and leave him there over Christmas. A naughty child could wake up with a lump of coal and a Mo Salah in their stocking on Christmas Day...

Not the worst draw we could've got. Confident that we can get through to the semis if we play a full strength team (maybe with Ake, Remy and Zouma over JT, Costa and Matic).

Could really see Bournemouth beating Liverpool and Newcastle giving Spurs problems. Saints will cruise into the last 4 as should we tbh.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Will be a difficult away tie, but could have got tougher opposition in PL clubs

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Another thing I've noticed is that since Jose's come back, we've been getting only away fixtures in the cup competitions.

In the league cup we had:

Last season: Swindon away, Arsenal away, Sunderland away. This season : Shrewsbury away, now Derby away

In the FA cup we had:

Last season: Derby away, Man City away

The only home games we've had under Jose have been Stoke in the Fa Cup last season and Bolton in the league cup this season.

So that's 7 away total and only 2 at home. That's weird.

probably will need to play a stronger team. they are quite tough

Fantastic draw. All my family are from Derby and are Derby supporters fun times!!

If we don't win 9-0 MouOut

Agreed, we need Costa or Remy at least. Drogba on the bench maybe for the final if we are at least 2 up.
