Welcome to that time of the week, ladies and gentlemen, the Not the Top 20 podcast betting show.

It's Ali Maxwell and it's George Ehrlich on the line with me to go through the EFL slate ahead of the weekend and to pick out our selections.

This podcast is for over 18s only.

We would ask that you be gamble aware and understand the risks around gambling.

So head to gambleaware.org to find out more.

George, you're right, mate?

Having a good week?

I'm all right, mate.

How are you?

Yeah, I'm absolutely very well, thank you. We haven't seen each other since Tuesday night

after I dropped you off back towards home a victorious evening for Oxford United, beating

Sunday non-penalties in the Carrabow. But that sort of has worn off already because

you were so angry with the draw,

Oxford Home to Man City, you almost refused to record this podcast today.

Yeah, not happy, which sounds a bit spoilt because we're in their quarterfinals at the Carabal Cup,

but we played them last season. We did incredibly well to only lose the game 3-0.

It's going to be very cold. It's

going to be just a long trip to go and watch us get beaten. And basically, I think any other

tie in the whole of the draw would have been preferable, given that, you know, a city away

would have been fine because it's a fun away there in Manchester. Every other draw I think would be almost winnable, but it's the one that we've already had once before,

and we're going to go out, and it's just a bit of a shame.

I'm looking forward to Phil Foden's performance at the Casam, though.
