FA Cup

Southampton have a welcome distraction from their poor Premier League form when they face south coast neighbours Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Saints have lost 10 of their last 12 league games but should still have too much quality for a Bournemouth team sitting outside the play-off places in the Championship. More...

Manchester City return to Goodison Park in the FA Cup quarter-finals little more than a month since they enjoyed a 3-1 victory in the Premier League. City remain in the hunt for silverware in four competitions after reaching the last eight of the Champions League on Tuesday night and Everton are 4/1 to knock them out of the FA Cup. More...

Chelsea have already thrashed Barnsley in the EFL Cup this season so should be confident of a routine victory when they meet in the FA Cup fifth round FA Cup. Kai Havertz hit a hat-trick as the Blues cruised to a 6-0 win at Stamford Bridge in September, although both clubs have since had a change of manager. More...

Burnley seem ready to have a real crack at FA Cup glory this season and are fancied to get the better of Bournemouth at Turf Moor. The Clarets were convincing 3-0 victors at Fulham in round four and have performed with credit in the Premier League since that tie. More...

Sheff Utd have used the FA Cup to try and build much-needed confidence this season and are expected to do the same when they host Bristol City. The Blades remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League but have again been handed a kind cup draw, having squeezed past two League One opponents. More...

Swansea gave Manchester City a scare in the FA Cup two years ago and will hope to have their moments in this season's fifth-round tie at Liberty Stadium. The Swans led 2-0 with just over 20 minutes left on the clock on that occasion, before a late turnaround saw them slip to a heart-breaking 3-2 defeat. More...

Championship basement dwellers Wycombe are expected to find Tottenham too hot to handle in Monday night's FA Cup fourth-round tie. However, Wanderers are in good form going forward at present, drawing a blank up front in only one of their last nine matches in all competitions. More...

Manchester United and Liverpool have drawn six of their last nine Premier League meetings following last weekend's cagey goalless stalemate at Anfield. However, both sides will be keen to avoid going to extra-time in the FA Cup and that will hopefully lead to a more entertaining tie at Old Trafford. More...

Everton are enjoying an impressive season in the Premier League and a favourable draw could also have them dreaming of FA Cup success. The Toffees are again at home to Championship opposition from South Yorkshire and are expected to put out a strong side as they return to action after a 12-day break. More...

Leicester beat Brentford 1-0 at Griffin Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup last season and now visit their new stadium at the same stage this term. The Bees are in fine form and claimed several Premier League scalps in the EFL Cup, but this lovely, fresh venue should suit the Foxes' free-flowing football. More...

Cheltenham face the unenviable task of trying to prevent Manchester City from rattling off a 10th straight victory in Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round clash. The visitors lifted this trophy two years ago and reached the semis last term, so it is safe to assume Pep Guardiola will be taking the tie seriously. More...

Chorley stunned a Covid-hit Derby in round three of the FA Cup but are now expected to be brought back down to earth by Wolves at Victory Park. Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo has shown plenty of respect for this competition and will be keen to advance after a poor run of Premier League results. More...

Frank Lampard's job could be on the line when Chelsea host Luton in the FA Cup and we're backing the Blues to fight for their manager's future. The Hatters are a likeable outfit who have done better than expected since moving up to the Championship, but they were beaten 3-0 by Man Utd in the EFL Cup. More...

West Ham are well placed to have a good crack at the FA Cup this season following some solid Premier League results and should brush aside Stockport. Hammers boss David Moyes reached the final of this competition back in 2009 with Everton and three other cup semis, so he does take knockout events seriously. More...

Tottenham cruised through to the EFL Cup final this week and should make light work of Merseyside minnows Marine in round three of the FA Cup. Jose Mourinho is not the type of manager to get caught up in the romance of this tie and a clinical performance is expected from Spurs. More...

Crawley are in fine form in League Two and will not be short of confidence as they look to cause an FA Cup upset by beating Leeds. The Red Devils have climbed into the play-off places thanks to an eight-match unbeaten run but we’re not convinced they have the quality to get past Marcelo Bielsa’s men. More...

Newport have a proud history of FA Cup upsets in recent years and are backed to give Brighton a tough work-out at Rodney Parade. In the last few seasons, County have beaten Leeds and Leicester in Wales in this competition, as well as earning a replay against Tottenham. More...

Man Utd saw another good cup run end at the semi-final stage on Wednesday but should be ready to start again when hosting Watford. The Red Devils have been reliable when it comes to beating lesser teams in knockout competitions under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and are hard to oppose at Old Trafford. More...

Chorley may be missing out on a meeting with Wayne Rooney but now have a realistic shot at reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup. A Covid-19 outbreak at Derby this week means the entire first-team squad and coaching staff are self-isolating, with their squad set to feature Under-23 and Under-18 players. More...

Arsenal and Chelsea will battle it out at Wembley on Saturday evening and we’ve asked our Bwin blog editors for their expert FA Cup final betting tips.

Norwich put their fight for Premier League survival to one side as they aim to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1992. The Canaries finally landed a home tie after three away trips while Manchester United will be seeking to equal Arsenal’s record of 13 FA Cup victories. More...

All eyes will be on Wayne Rooney when Derby take on his former club Manchester United in an intriguing FA Cup fifth-round tie at Pride Park. The Red Devils' record goalscorer has done well for the Rams since joining from DC United in January and is sure to be fired up for this contest. More...

Having completed a hat-trick of EFL Cup triumphs, Manchester City should move closer towards back-to-back FA Cup victories when visiting Sheffield Wednesday. Garry Monk's Owls are a mid-table Championship outfit who have lost five of their last seven fixtures at Hillsborough in that division. More...

Arsenal's surprise Europa League exit may prove unfortunate for Monday night's FA Cup fifth-round opponents Portsmouth at Fratton Park. The Gunners should now be able to prioritise this competition more and are expected to prove too strong for the League One outfit in this televised tie. More...

Newcastle's winter break has been shortened by a frustrating FA Cup replay and we fear Oxford could feel the backlash at Kassam Stadium. The Magpies wasted numerous opportunities to settle this tie at St James' Park but Steve Bruce still seems committed to chasing a good run in the competition. More...

Chelsea beat Hull 4-0 in the FA Cup fifth round a couple of years ago en route to lifting the trophy and will seek to tame the Tigers again in round four this term. The Blues have to travel up to KCOM Stadium this time, but have picked up more points on the road than at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. More...

Manchester United should get past League One Tranmere in the FA Cup fourth round but are unlikely to have things all their own way at Prenton Park. An old-fashioned muddy pitch and opponents who like to get the ball into the box is a combination which could give the Red Devils some uneasy moments. More...

Shrewsbury are expected to find Liverpool too strong at New Meadow but a decent FA Cup pedigree suggests they will not go down without a fight. Town reached the quarter-finals in 1979 and 1982, knocked out Everton in 2003 and have held West Ham and Wolves to draws here in the past couple of seasons. More...

Bournemouth and Arsenal both enjoyed positive Premier League performances in midweek and a close encounter is on the cards when they clash in the FA Cup. These teams drew for the second time in four meetings at this venue on Boxing Day, with each side securing a 2-1 win here in between a pair of stalemates. More...

Wayne Rooney has made an immediate impact at Derby and can help inspire County to an FA Cup fourth round victory at League Two Northampton. The Cobblers have been playing well at their own level, though, scoring plenty of goals in a six-match unbeaten run, so this should be an entertaining tie. More...
