Round two of trivia to throw at your mates. This set ranges from an easy opener to a couple of genuine deep cuts that'll separate the football obsessives from everyone else. Have a go, then check your answers at the bottom.

The Questions

1. Which team play their home games at Villa Park?

(a) Ipswich Town F.C. (b) Leeds United (c) Bournemouth (d) Aston Villa

4. Who was the last player to be sent off in an FA Cup final?

No multiple choice - this is a proper test of memory. Only a handful of players in the entire history of the competition have seen red in the final itself, which makes this one of the rarer pieces of FA Cup trivia going.

5. Who is the only player from the Dominican Republic to play in the Premier League?

Another difficult one.

Deep Cuts Like These Are What Separate the Real Fans

Anyone can name the current Premier League top scorer. Knowing which club a full-back was signed from a decade ago, or who the last person to be dismissed in a cup final was - that's the stuff that actually proves you've been paying attention for years, not just this season.

If you enjoy these types of questions, FootEx's daily challenge serves up a fresh mix of exactly this - current form blended with the kind of history and nostalgia.
