Tie of the round is United's biggest game of the week - their glamour tie at Aldershot.
Word is that United will field a strong side - Owen, Berbatov, Park, Carrick etc.
I've seen The Shots play Championship sides in this competition twice in the last two years. Last year we were outplayed by Watford at home (0-3). This year we were fortunate to beat a very nervous and rudderless looking young West Ham side, who had a player sent off. Both times the opposition looked quicker and technically better, and I suspect a strong-looking United side will be mentally tougher than West Ham's kids and a step to far for us. I'd be surprised (and delighted) if they've not wrapped the game up well before the end. Small stakes for me in case I'm wrong and they field the youth side - I won't know until I'm on the terraces. United -1.75 (Bet365)
