The third round’s other cup heroes, Cambridge and Boreham Wood, were not handed glamour ties but may fancy their chances of progressing even further. The Us, conquerors of Newcastle, are at home to Luton while non-league Wood, who beat AFC Wimbledon, are at Bournemouth, who have other priorities as they chase promotion back to the Premier League.
