Passive at Port Vale
The least glamorous of the domestic competitions, but it is a trophy that can be won and something we desperately need to take seriously. The benefit of the squad overhaul this summer is that our second string team is still very strong, it did have a spattering of regular starters, but the lineup was filled with those who don't often start. Port Vale were in decent form heading into this clash having won three of their last four, but they still find themselves 19th in League One. League position means very little in cup competitions as we saw Manchester United bow out to Grimsby in the previous round. A home fixture with a large crowd could trouble any top flight team that rock up expecting an easy game.

This year, the spotlight shifted to a younger generation, with the debate centered on two players in particular: Lamine Yamal of Barcelona and Ousmane Dembele of Paris Saint-Germain. While both were exceptional throughout the season, it was Dembele who ultimately clinched the Ballon d’Or, edging out the young Spanish winger.
