MOST FREQUENT FA CUP OPPONENTS
18: Liverpool
17: Chelsea
16: Arsenal, Reading, Tottenham
15: Middlesbrough, Southampton
14: Fulham, West Ham (when we meet next month)
13: Aston Villa, Everton
12: Derby County
If you remove the finals, because there was no draw for those games, it would look like this:
16: Liverpool, Reading, Tottenham
15: Middlesbrough
14: Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Southampton, West Ham
Replays would affect things too – Reading would drop by five, Liverpool four, Middlesbrough four, Tottenham four and so on.
With only one replay held against Arsenal, arguably the most famous one in our history in the competition, it would appear that the Gunners are the team we’ve drawn the most as Villa (once) and Everton (twice) have also been final opponents.
