The FA Cup third round shockometer! Where the upsets could be, all the fixtures and a range of football accumulator odds


Which Premier League teams do you think are most at risk of an FA Cup shock this weekend? Our third-round 'shockometer' highlights all the fixtures, ranks where the potential dangers lie and how Sky Bet price up a range of accumulators.

There may be no non-league teams left in the FA Cup this year but that doesn't rule out the possibility of any heroic third-round giant killings as a host of Premier League sides have tricky trips to deal with on the back of a busy festive schedule.

Only three top-flight outfits fell at the first hurdle to lower division clubs last year, but with plenty of rotated sides taking the field on a wet, cold weekend, don't be surprised to see more of those banana skins being laid out.
