Premiership sides in similar circumstances.
During the 2003/04 season, Millwall were drawn at home three

Sunderland in the semi final. En-route to this match, they won
three out of four games, beating Walsall @ 1.91 (h), Telford @
1.60 (a) and Burnley @ 1.79 (h) before drawing at home to
Tranmere in the quarter final, despite being odds on at 1.50.
However, they made amends in the replay, winning at Prenton Park
