Liverpool.

Well okay, that's wishful thinking, I say Arsenal or some other English team.

This is stupid! The whole point of cup tournamnets are that you can never predict who is going to win!!!

I think I can safety say the winner will be one of the 20 teams in the poll. Also if predicting the winner of a cup tournament isn't what it is about then no one told the bookies.
Liverpool.

Arsenal, they'll breeze through IF they get past Man U. After that it's a walk (if Wenger continues to field his best players...)

Man Utd.
I think (well, hope actually) that the wheels are about to fall off Arsenal's campaign. Man Utd have beaten all the top teams this season - Arsenal and Chelsea are psychologically at a disadvantage in that respect so one-on-one, we'll take 'em.
Fingers crossed.
