83 players were still standing for Round 3. Eight different teams had been picked in this round, one of them by default.
On Friday night, Luton finally had their first home game as they welcomed West Ham to Kenilworth Road – 14 players had picked the Hammers to upset the party and, despite a late Luton goal a 2-1 win saw them through.
On Saturday, in the early kickoff, Sheffield United hosted Everton at Bramall Lane. Steve Rogers had expected Everton to finally get off the mark which they did, but only a 2-2 draw and he drops out. In the 3pm games, Brentford took on Bournemouth at the Gtech Community Stadium – 13 players had picked the Bees but another 2-2 draw saw them also drop out. Burnley were still looking for their first point of the season as Tottenham headed to Turfmoor – Alfie Robinson, Dan Milton, Janet Carr, and Pauline Jackson had been looking for a Spurs win though and they eased through after a 5-2 win. Chelsea faced Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge – 16 players had picked Chelsea but a shock 1-0 for Forest saw them drop out. Manchester City played Fulham at the Etihad – 33 players had picked the league leaders and a 5-1 win saw them progress.
On Sunday, Crystal Palace played Wolves at Selhurst Park – Ralph Dealing had picked the Eagles and he goes through with a 3-2 win. At the same time, Liverpool welcomed Aston Villa to Anfield – no entry had been received from Tony Ainsworth, so he got Villa by default and goes out after a 3-0 win to the Reds.
In total, 31 players drop out, leaving 52 players still standing as we head into the international break after this round. Deadline for Round 5 is noon on Friday 15th September.
