Boreham Wood boss Luke Garrard: “Wanted Liverpool or Manchester City away, I saw John’s reaction and he was devastated.

“Home draw is always the priority, they always raise their game when you play them,” says John Aldridge.
“Wolves are dangerous, Liverpool have a squad that can go through.
“Boreham Wood vs Accrington is the tie of the round for me. The league is beyond us now, the three cups are all doable.
“It’s always a great cup to win. It was great to do it last year. Let’s hope we can get into the fourth round.”
