fa cup predictions 26-1-1-18

FOURTH ROUND FRIDAY

SHEF WED V READING

Both of these teams are a point apart in the Championship table so it is very hard to separate them because of that it is very hard to predict in any case. Rhodes, Wallace and Lee can do damage for Sheffield Wednesday while Meite, East and Frost can do damage for Reading

I see it as a score draw

MAN UNITED V YOVIL

United have got too much quality in this match but to me if they do not score a goal early enough there could be trouble. This is a great way for Sanchez to show what he can do but Martial will be a key factor in this match as for Yeovil Glen Murray, Grey and Barnes. Yeovil are having problems in league 2 and I cannot see a surprise here

I say 3-0 United  

SATURDAY

PETERBOROUGH V LEICESTER

Peterborough are just outside of the play offs in League 1 Anderson, Borg and Kanu will be an attacking thereat for the Boro while Leicester 7^th in the Premiership the best of the rest have Marhez, Ozacki and Musa who can do damage but to me Leicester have got more quality all over the pith and I would be surprised if they did not win this easy win for Leicester as they believe they can win this trophy with no worry of relegation I think they will put out a team to win

I say Leicester 3-1

HUDDERSFIELD V BIRMINGHAM

This game to me looks like a home banker as Huddersfield with players like Low3ly, Ince and Williams have got quality that can change a match. If Birmingham are to stand a chance they will rely on Jota, Adams and Davis. Birmingham do not have the form that says they can compete as they are in 23^rd in the Championship and Huddersfield 14^th in the Premiership

This could be a draw but I see a 3-1 win to Huddersfield

HULL V NOTS FOREST

This game as Hull are at home to me screams a score draw. I think that Hull with Hernandez and Diomende will be the ones to score for Hull but Mason will be able to control the game from the midfield. As for Forest Clough, Brerton and Dowell will be able to get that attacking threat

If Forest can Control this game they will win it but I see it as a dead

MIDDLESBRO V BRIGHTON AND HOME ALBIAN

To me this game screams a cup upset as I think that at home Boro can do what is needed as Gestedev can score and Clayton in midfield and with Downings experience they can make this place a fortress even though they sit in 8^th in the championship. Brighton Dunk, Hemed and Murray can all be attacking threats but Boro feel like a club that can beat a team like Brighton

I say 2-1 Boro

MILLWALL V ROCHDALE

Milwall are doing well in the Championship but might look with their being in 8^th in the championship   play offs Rochdale are in serious trouble in league 1 and this for both sides could be considered some form of a distraction. Millwall have O Brian and Morison up front and Williams in midfield while Rochdale have Bruney Davies up front and Andrew in midfield

Easy win for Milwall

MKDONS V COVENTRY

 Mk Dons are in a bit of trouble at the moment and as they are trying to get out of relegation a cup run could be seen as some form of a distraction to that. Coventry are in 6^th in the table so getting into the play offs should be seen as vital to their promotion push. Both if put out might help their cause. For Coventry Mc Nulty and Willis and for the dons Nombe, Ugbo and Upson

I see this as a win for the Dons 3-1

NOTS CO V SWANSEA

After getting the win over Liverpool Swansea will have confidence going into this FA cup tie and it is a tie that they should win easily Bony, Abraham and Briton will make a huge difference and as they are playing against top opponents in the Premiership this should do damage. Amiobi will score I think but there is also an attacking threat from Steed and Noble. Nots Co do sit second on league 2 so form could be a factor as well.

I say Swansea to win 2-1

SHEF UTD V PRESTON

Sheffield United are sitting 6^th in the championship and would be considered on a role and would see this as a way to see how well they would compete against a premiership side. Evens, Clarke and sharp can be that attacking force that is needed but an early goal might be very important. Robinson, Maguire and Horgan could do damage for Preston who I want to do well for Maguire who used to play for Cork

I say 0-0 draw

SOUTHAMPTON V WATTFORD

Tadic, Austin and Gabbiadini can make a difference for Southampton while Deeney,  Carillo and Richarlson for Watford can make a huge difference Watford are doing a lot better than Southampton at the moment but I feel that this will be a close game decided by 1 mistake

I say no score draw  

WIGAN V WEST HAM

Caroll Hernandez up front and Lanzini in midfield can effect change in this game for West Ham but the form of Carolll can be a huge factor. West ham sit in 11thh in the table so would think a cup run as a good thing. Wigan sit on top of the league one table and look a sure thing for promotion Grigg up front Powell and Morsly in midfield can change things but with no real fear on either side this is both teams only thing to aim at

I see it as a win for Wigan but both teams will score 3-2

NEWPORT CONTY V SPURS

Newport County are I 8^th in league 2 and will rely heavily on their midfield with players like Owen-Evens, Rigg up front and Day will be vitals in goal as Spurs will attack. Spurs have Ali Kane and Heung min who can change a game in an instant

I say spurs to score 5

LIVERPOOL V WEST BROM

Rondon up front Mc clean and Leko f or West Brom will make the difference. Salah, Mane and Firmino can definitely do damage but they do have trouble breaking down a defensive wall that teams like West Brom can play with.

I say Liverpool but it could be a draw

SUNDAY

CHELSEA V NEWCASTLE

Hazzard, Kante and Pedro can make a difference for Chelsea but they have not had the best run off form in recent weeks. For Newcastle Gayle, Mitrovic up front and Shelby in midfield but with the power of the fans I am surprised how long it has been since Newcastle have won a trophy. This game could be close

I say Chelsea as they have too much quality in reserve but this could be a draw

CARDIFF V MAN CITY

Agueero and Jesus up front and De Brun possibly one of the best players in the world it does feel like Cardidff have got no chance whatsoever. Zohore will have to get an early goal or Gunnerson and Pilkington will have to try and control the game in midfield

I don’t see a hope for Cardiff even though they are third in the table
