FA Cup Preview - Round of Sixten: March 6th - March 9th

Wolves vs Liverpool


Liverpool return to Molineux looking to right the wrongs from a shock Premier League defeat earlier this week. With Wolves beginning to find some form and the Reds showing signs of vulnerability, an FA Cup upset cannot be ruled out on Friday.

Both teams to score looks like a near-banker pick. I also fancy the hosts to push Liverpool all the way and potentially force extra time in the first of the weekend’s round of 16 ties.

Best Bet: BTTS 

Prediction Wolves 1-1 Liverpool (Liverpool to win AET)


Wrexham vs Chelsea


Perhaps the most glamorous tie of the weekend sees Wrexham welcome Chelsea to Wales in what promises to be a potentially thrilling cup contest.

In search of a fourth successive victory, the Red Dragons have been in excellent form this year, losing just two of their last 17 matches. With at least one goal scored in 16 of those fixtures, the hosts should have the quality to trouble the Chelsea defence.

Best Bet: BTTS and over 2.5 Goals

Prediction: Wrexham 2 vs 3 Chelsea


Newcastle vs Manchester City


A likely entertaining late kick-off takes place at St James’s Park on Saturday evening, with high-scoring outcomes a recurring theme for the Magpies.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals have landed in each of the hosts’ last 11 games, including their midweek win against Man Utd. Three of the previous four meetings between these sides also produced the same outcome.

Newcastle edged to a 2-1 Premier League win last against Man City in November, and I fancy the Magpies to score two goals or more in another action-packed contest.

Best Bet: BTTS and over 2.5 Goals

Prediction: Newcastle 2 vs 2 Manchester City (Man City to win AET)


Best of the Rest


Premier League leaders Arsenal kick off Saturday’s action with an early trip to giant-killing Mansfield. Nigel Clough’s side have already dumped Sheffield United and Burnley out of the competition, but the scalp of the in-form Gunners may prove a bridge too far.

On Sunday, Fulham take on Championship visitors Southampton, with the Lilywhites expected to take care of a potentially rotated Saints side. Much depends on team selection, but the hosts should edge to victory in a game that could see both teams get on the scoresheet.

Sunderland will look to avoid an FA Cup upset when they face League One strugglers Port Vale. The hosts have struggled badly in home fixtures this season, and the Black Cats should take advantage as they continue their pursuit of a first FA Cup triumph since 1973.

Finally, on Sunday, Philippe Clement takes his Norwich side to Elland Road to face Leeds. Much like the Fulham tie, team news could prove crucial, but another home win with both teams scoring could represent a good value pick.

Wrapping up the action, Brentford could take advantage of a West Ham side potentially distracted by their Premier League relegation fight. The Bees picked up victories in three of their last four road games, including both of their previous visits to the London Stadium in the past year.

Best of the Rest Picks

  • Leeds to Win/BTTS
  • Brentford to Win
