FA Cup 4th round predictions Saturday 24th January
Chelsea will breeze through this, win by two clear goals, providing Ipswich do not sneak an early goal.
Doncaster v Aston Villa, R4, 15:00
Tricky away tie for Villa, Martin O Neill will be ready and will no doubt play a stronger line up. A win by one clear goal. The news of Emile Heskey joining will spur on the Villla.
Hartlepool v West Ham, R4, 12:40
I can see this as the hardest away game for the Premier League battlers, Zola has his work cut out and will find it hard with Chris Turners men won 3 out of their last 6. Fitst of the two televised matches on ITV today. Score draw for me
Hard game for Hull who’s form has been struggling as of late. I can see Kenny Jackett’s men being hard to beat, Phil Brown could be wise and lose today to concentrate on the second half of the Premier League season.
Kettering must fancy their chances against Fulham, losing their game against West Ham last week. Kettering owner has come out and attacked TV bosses for not televising this game but just shows how bigger games are available in the 4th round. Fulham edge it.
Man Utd v Tottenham, R4, 17:15
One of the televised games this weekend, Man Utd on for all the cups this year can beat Spurs in a dress reversal of the Carling Cup final. Spurs lose in the week will still be in the back of the minds of the players who’s form recently has been no short of rubbish. Man Utd to win, and win by a couple, although thinning numbers may mean a few fresher faces for the champions of England, Europe and the world.
Portsmouth v Swansea, R4, 15:00
Holders Pompey wont be fancying their chances against a good team in Swansea. The Swans have been struggling for form but always seem to be able to raise their game. If Adams doesn’t put out a strong 11, he could find himself out. Score draw
Sheff Utd v Charlton, R4, 15:00
All championship affair. Charlton clearly struggling and Sheffield Utd still are there or there abouts at the top half of the table. I predict a win for the blades but not without a spirited fight from Charlton.
Sunderland v Blackburn, R4, 15:00
A northern all Premier League affair, Blackburn in good form since Big Sam has taken over. Neither have had the abilities to splash the cash in the transfer market and could go either way. Blackburn might sneak an away win here, Big Sam could keep the momentum going.
Non league Devon outfit Torquay come up against the midlands sky blues. Hard to say how Coventry could fair here today, I think class should shine through.
Watford v Crystal Palace, R4, 15:00
My local team welcome back Elton John and Graham Taylor to Vicarage Road today. Both appointed to the new look board, Palace always have a habit in recent years of upsetting Watford fans but the Hornets will be up for today (well fans anyways). I think a tight draw. Rodgers will need to get some sort of run going, especially at home, to help stop the rot.
West Brom v Burnley, R4, 15:00
Nice tasty game, this will be a good open game. Both teams play nice football and although the win but ultimately a lose in Mid week to a very lucky Tottenham will only give the Owens men the belief they can overturn another Premier League team. Chris Eagles to sore high again? Away win
Wolverhampton v Middlesbrough, R4, 15:00
Top team Wolves from the Championship against struggling Boro. Boro have lost the last four on the road and Wolves are still going great guns. Wolves home win unless Rob Styles ruins the game. This could be a change at the end of the season and Southgate knows the pressure is mounting.
