This season’s FA Cup has served up the usual shockers. Already on the sidelines are Premiership giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. The remaining 16 clubs features nine from England’s top league, the Barclays Premier League, led by table-leading Chelsea.
Notts County, which play in League 2 – three divisions below the Premiership, are the lowest ranked club remaining from over 700 that started the quest for The FA Cup last summer. County are trying to eliminate their second successive Premiership club. The Nottingham club knocked off Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home in their 4th round replay after managing a 2-2 draw at Wigan’s home ground DW Stadium.
