Just saw on Twitter that in one leg cup games in FA Cup and League Cup they've had the following draws for last 12 games:

(H) West Ham
(H) Aston Villa
(H) Middlesbrough
(H) Aston Villa
(H) Burnley
(H) Everton
(H) Charlton
(H) Reading
(H) West Ham
(H) Fulham
(H) Crystal Palace
(H) Newcastle

That works out at pretty much a one in half a million chance of getting 12 home draws in a row 😮
