The draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup has been made today. Mido and Shawky's Boro got Barrow at home and the roud is paved for them to reach the 4th round. On the other hand, Zaki's Wigan will have to overcome Tottenham Hotspur at White Heart Lane in order to reach the next round.

Tough for Zaki; Easy for Mido & Shawky

Instead of getting one of the Championship or 2nd or 3rd division teams, Wigan got Tottenham Hotspur in the FA cup. On the other hand, Mido and Shawky should have little problem reaching the 4th round after getting Barrow in the 3rd round.

Once again. Wigan were extremely unlucky. They got Arsenal in the League cup which meant the end of the road for the side in that competition and now they got Spurs away from home.

While the match won't be easy, it is still possible for Zaki and Wigan to advance to the next round if they play at their full potential.

It should be noted that the matches will be played on the 3rd and 4th of January...
