    Is anyone good at maths/ probabilities?

    What’s the probability of a third round all Premier League tie e.g. Man City v Arsenal coming out?

    Amazing how many times it happens - the tie for the cameras.

    63/1.
    64 clubs in at the 3rd round.

    Probability = the number of favourable out comes ÷ the total number of outcomes ie the number of premier teams you would like to play against ÷ the total number of teams in the draw. The answer should be a small fraction. Hope that helps.

    Shouldn't that be 64/20 (20 premier league out of a total of 64) x 63/19 for any all premier league fixture ? very roughly about 10/1 ?

    Cheers
    Misunderstood the question. I'd got it in my head not 2 premier sides together. But one specific premier side v another premier side.
    Get your 63/19. But surely that's roughly 3.3/1.

    Chance of barnsley being drawn away at Arsenal in the cup - >1%

    Chance of Barnsley being drawn away at Southend in the cup and it being moved to a Friday night - 75%

    Think it should be :-
    A) Odds on a premier league club being drawn first - 64/20 or 3.2 to 1
    B) Odds on a premier League club being drawn next - 63/19 or 3.3 to 1
    Therefore odds on A and B being correct are 3.2 x 3.3 to 1, or 10.56/1 (I think)
    These odds alter after each ball is selected in he fraw

    Southend are out already, and yet I still reckon we've more chance of drawing them than Arsenal away in the 3rd round ;)

    Leeds always seem to pox a big team away in the cup. I'm going to check it, but I reckon they've been to one of the big 5 (City, Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool) at least 5 times in the last 20 years in the FA Cup alone.

    Edit: in the last 20 seasons, they've been to Arsenal 3 times, Man Utd and Man City once. They've also been to Tottenham (who I didn't originally include), and also faced Arsenal at home.

    I saw us lose 2-0 away at Highbury in the mid eighties in the FA cup. We also played them at Oakwell in the League Cup in the 1990s. We lost this one as well.

    I will never forgive the Football League for rigging their promotion to Division 1 after WW1. They have never suffered relegation. That should have been us!

    Is it even possible to figure out the overall probability? I.e. if the first tie is not an all PL fixture, then the probability of the subsequent tie depends on whether one PL team has been drawn already or not. If the last two teams in the draw are both in the PL, then the probability is 1 or 100%.

    The club they replaced, Spurs. the only one relegated. With 3 promoted.

    Not quite true, they have never been relegated since then. They were relegated before that time - 1913 I think.

    I can't be arsed to work this out, but it will be overwhelmingly likely that there will be an all Premier league tie, 90%+ I reckon.

    You are quite correct. I never realised they had been relegated.

    If you were to concentrate on specifically arsenal v Man city....

    It's 64/1 for either of them being drawn out
    AND (which is multiplied by)
    63/1 being the next.

    64 x 63 is a lot....

    Which should equate to about 4000/1

    But your right for prem v prem

    Every year I can remember there are several all Prem ties, and miraculously it always seems to be one for the cameras…. Liverpool v Man U, or whoever the top 2 are at the time. It’s almost as if some other power is at play. ;-)
