Looking forward to the Brighton Marathon
Possibly, don't lose any sleep over it, I won't. Survival is more important this season than a cup that the top 6 don't give a crap about.

By my reckoning (and I am no probability expert) there is more chance they will avoid each other than get drawn together (1 in 3 they meet, 2 in 3 they don't) so it really wouldn't be that much of a surprise. I think there are 24 possible ways the 4 teams could be drawn out the hat, of which 8 of them would see Spurs v Man U. 8/24 = 1/3
