The FA Cup fourth round draw has really opened things up, after Sunday saw the 32 balls picked out.
Newcastle United did a professional job on Bromley after the visitors took a shock early lead.
That 3-1 victory for Eddie Howe’s side then seeing them draw Birmingham City away from home.
The League One leaders won’t be any kind of a pushover but if you draw a lower league team, even if away from home, you can hardly complain.
Especially when you have Brighton v Chelsea, Villa v Tottenham, Everton v Bournemouth and Man U v Leicester in the FA Cup fourth round draw.
Whilst Arsenal, West Ham and Brentford are already out.
Then eight other (including NUFC!) Premier League clubs are away to lower league clubs.
If Newcastle United get through against League One leaders Birmingham, into the last 16, then every chance of getting a good draw.
The FA Cup fourth round matches are to be played the weekend of Saturday 8 February.
Here is the full fourth round draw and then follows the new updated odds from the bookies on the chances of Newcastle United (and the rest) winning the FA Cup:
1 Manchester United v Leicester City
2 Leeds United v Millwall or Dagenham & Redbridge
3 Brighton & Hove Albion v Chelsea
4 Preston North End or Charlton Athletic v Wycombe Wanderers
5 Exeter City v Nottingham Forest

11 Everton v Bournemouth
