Barnsley suffered a shock defeat to Blackpool, going out 2-1 after extra time in the third round, while Doncaster Rovers went out in the first round after a 2-1 defeat to Oldham.
WHAT ARE THE ODDS ON ONE OF OUR TEAMS WINNING IT?
According to Sky Bet, both Sheffield United and Wednesday are 100/1 to add the famous trophy to the cabinet while Barnsley are 200/1. Meanwhile, if you fancy a flutter on Doncaster Rovers performing a miracle, a quid will get you 500 back. Chelsea are 5/1 joint-favourites to go one better than last season, alongside Manchester City and Manchester United. Tottenham are 7/1, Arsenal 8/1 and Liverpool 10/1. For an outside bet, Watford, who you would think are pretty safe in the Premier League, might fancy a cup run and are decent odds at 40/1.
