Not a Welsh team
Wrexham are still in the English football pyramid
Think they were bottom of the GM Vauxhall Conference last I heard
OK of the four pairings left, here is where the teams involved are currently:
i) Current Premier League team v current League One team
ii) Premier League team v Championship team
iii) Championship team v Championship team
iv) Championship team v Championship team
Two teams are featured in two different pairings
Queens Park the non-English team?
Yes, well Wikipediad
Some of us know random shit.
Iām gonna say Wolves are involved in the pairings cos they won it a lot back then, maybe against Preston? Stumped with the others
Wolves are not involved

edit nevermind I see it now
Liverpool Arsenal?
Yes, sorry, I forgot to write that one out on my list when I was writing it so it is 14 pairings not 13, duh
1950, 1971 and 2001
That is one of the four pairings that has happened three times
Chelsea - Manchester United and Arsenal - Newcastle are two of the others
One of the remaining pairings also happened three times
Hmmmmm
West Brom are definitely one of the two teams who feature more than once Iād say. Who they played is another story.
Stick to Blackburn as previous. Championship v Championship WBA/Blackeye Rovers. West Brom v Villa another possibly?
League one team has to be Sunderland or Bolton and I suspect the second of the teams featured twice.
Incidentally, of the traditional ābig fiveā, ie, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham, 1950 was the first final between any of them and there wasnāt until 1971 there was another one
Liverpool - Man United
Liverpool - Everton
Arsenal - Man Utd
Everton - Man Utd
All these pairings have only happened since 1977
Tottenham have never played another big five team in a final
West Brom v Villa is one pairing
West Brom feature twice
Bolton are one of the teams featured
So thereās an asterix beside all their FA cup wins?

i) Current Premier League team v Bolton
ii) Aston Villa v West Brom
iii) West Brom v Championship team
iv) Championship team v Championship team
Its not my lot anyway for Bolton eventhough I know we lost the famous final against them in 1923. Its not Utd either, one Nat Lofthouse was enough.
They played Blackpool in a final famously so I would assume they are running out of opponents here and the EPL team must be their only other 2 finals but I cannot for the life of me guess outside of Newcastle, Villa or City. Had you not said EPL I would be saying Blackpool
You guessed one of them there
tottenham hot*
I would guess Huddersfield Town as one of the Championship teams, they were big pre World War 2
Huddersfield are one of the teams
Any future guessers please slot teams into these slots
i) Current Premier League team v Bolton
ii) Aston Villa v West Brom
iii) West Brom v Championship team
iv) Championship team v Championship team
