Last time a Second Division club won the FA Cup was in 1931, when West Bromwich boat Birmingham City at Wembley. Now, with only five First Division teams left in, nine Second Division teams and two from the Northern Section, many people are asking: will a Second Division club take the Wembley_prize this year?
