Reading take on Manchester United tonight at Old Trafford and while most "neutrals" would be hoping for a shock exit for the runaway Premier League leaders, many Villa fans are hoping that our relegations rivals crash out of the competition.
The reason?
Well, should The Royals stun the football world tonight and qualify for the quarter finals, those games will be played on the weekend of 9th/10th March and the Premier League clash with Aston Villa will need to be rescheduled.
This could be particularly bad news for the travelling claret & blue faithful. Villa fans quickly snapped up all 2,300 tickets available and many will have taken advantage of cheap advance (but none-refundable) train tickets.
Any rearranged game is likely to be a midweek night game.
However, if the bookies are correct, then our Saturday date at the Majedski looks safe with a Reading win available at odds of 11/1.
Meanwhile the initial allocation for the away clash at Stoke is a paltry 1,240.
