Ball 17 for City, Hereford and Wycombe

If Lincoln City get past Hereford United in the FA Cup 2nd Round Replay on Saturday, they and Wycombe Wanderers will be ball number 17 in Sunday's Fourth Round draw. With a lot of Premiership sides facing lower League opposition, the League Two team that survives the triple threat could easily face a giant such as Manchester United or Chelsea.

Lincoln and Hereford will finally play their Second Round Replay on Saturday afternoon, it's the last match for the second round to be played. City were five minutes away from being through straight away until Adam Watts fouled Stuart Fleetwood to allow Mathieu Manset to score from the spot. Since then the three attempts at the replay have failed, meaning Wycombe Wanderers have faced a wait to find out their third round opponents, whom they will host on Tuesday evening.

Wycombe and Lincoln or Hereford will be ball number 17 in Sunday's draw, which will take place after the Manchester United vs Liverpool game, the winners of which will be ball number 26th.

There are plenty of opportunities for high profile local games if City progress to the fourth round. Sheffield Wednesday will be ball 3 if they beat Bristol City, Sheffield United will be ball 12 if they can beat Aston Villa, although City could easily end up with Dover, ball 7 if they beat Huddersfield.
