Manchester City vs Arsenal Preview

Friday, January 27th, 20:00 (UK)

These sides look set to battle it out for the title this season. However, they will do battle in the FA Cup before their first league meeting. Arsenal have become real contenders after things finally clicked under Mikel Arteta. The Spaniard was Pep Guardiola’s number two prior to joining Arsenal. They are now poised to be competitive rivals for the foreseeable future.

City have a formidable record against Arsenal. They have won 12 of the last 13 matches between the sides and Arsenal haven’t beaten them at the Etihad since 2015. A win for the Gunners here would prove that they are more than capable of seeing off a City challenge in the league.

Manchester City vs Arsenal Best Bet

Arsenal are averaging 6.4 shots per game against Man City in the last five head-to-heads. Pep’s side faced Chelsea in the last round of this competition and restricted them to just three attempts. Arsenal are significantly stronger than Chelsea this season but we’re unlikely to see them peppering the City goal here.

When playing at the Etihad, City’s opponents are averaging just 6.59 shots per game this season. Both of these teams are comfortable in possession and pressing opponents high up the pitch. This should mean that the ball is in deeper areas for large periods of the game.

Selection: Under 10.5 Shots For Arsenal (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 1.72 (bet365)
Stakes: 5/10

Accrington Stanley vs Leeds United Preview

Saturday, January 28th, 12:30 (UK)

Leeds comprehensively beat Cardiff in a replay in the last round. Marsch’s side will be wary heading into this one. They had to battle from two goals down away from home in the last round to earn the replay.

Accrington are battling relegation from League One. They will be under the cosh against the quality of Leeds United. John Coleman’s side needed extra time to edge past non-league, Boreham Wood in the last round. They will look to get stuck in and make this one a fight.

Accrington Stanley vs Leeds United Best Bet

Leeds’ matches in all competitions are averaging 41.91 tackles per game. This climbs to 45.91 tackles per game in matches they have played away from home. Their match at the Cardiff City Stadium in the last round saw 45 tackles.

Accrington’s matches are averaging around 30 tackles. However, Leeds are more likely to play the ball along the ground than their usual league opponents. This will hopefully force more clean tackles.

Selection: Over 34.5 Tackles In The Match (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Preston vs Tottenham Preview

Saturday, January 28th, 18:00 (UK)

Tottenham have been criticised for the way they have played for the majority of the season. Results have worsened since the World Cup but they remain in contention to finish in the top 4. They are also through to the knockout stages of the Champions League. The FA Cup is seemingly their best chance of ending their 15-year wait for a trophy so they should put out a strong team.

Preston are in 11th place in the Championship but are just two points from the play-off places. Their home form this season has been poor. They’ve won just five of their 17 matches at Deepdale in all competitions.

Preston vs Tottenham Best Bet

Tottenham’s matches this season are averaging 36.59 throws per game. They aren’t known for being proactive when out of possession and this can lead to fewer throws. Their last FA Cup match against Portsmouth saw just 34 throws in the match.

Preston’s matches this season are averaging just under 48 throws per game. However, there were just 37 throws in their last-round match with Huddersfield. Conte’s men should be comfortable in possession here and this will contribute towards a lower throw count.

Selection: Under 42.5 Throws In The Match (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Manchester United vs Reading Preview

Saturday, January 28th, 20:00 (UK)

Manchester United continue their hunt for a trophy in Ten Hag’s inaugural season at the club this weekend. The team put one foot in the final of the League Cup on Wednesday by beating Nottingham Forest 3-0. They will look to progress to the latter stages of this competition with the league beyond their grasp.

Reading are 14th in the Championship and it’s unlikely they fight their way into a play-off challenge in the remaining 18 games. A trip to Old Trafford will be a welcome distraction for supporters. However, they have played United twice since they dropped out of the Premier League and lost by an aggregate score of 6-0.

Manchester United vs Reading Best Bet

United’s matches this season are averaging 36.32 throws per game. Since the World Cup, their games have seen an average of just 34 throws and their home fixtures see fewer than those on the road.

Ten Hag’s side are looking more accomplished in possession as the weeks pass. They should have no trouble in maintaining control against Reading. Their last FA Cup match against Everton saw just 31 throws in the match. They are likely to name a strong side in this one and opt to rest players in the League Cup.

Selection: Under 40.5 Throws In The Match (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
Stakes: 6/10

Brighton vs Liverpool Preview

Sunday, January 29th, 13:30 (UK)

Brighton hammered Liverpool 3-0 when these sides met earlier this month. They have since gone on to draw 2-2 with Leicester. De Zerbi knows the visitors will be out for revenge. We are unlikely to see a Liverpool side as lacklustre as the one that made the previous trip to the Amex Arena.

Liverpool drew with Chelsea in a fairly even contest in their last match. They beat the Blues in the final of this competition last season. Klopp will want to win this competition with his side unable to compete for the Premier League title this season.

Brighton vs Liverpool Best Bet

Brighton’s home matches are averaging 40.33 throws per match in all competitions. Their last match with Liverpool saw 32 throws but there have been 39 or more throws in five of the six most recent head-to-heads. Klopp will be keen to ensure this match doesn’t play out the like the last one so there should be a change in approach.

Liverpool’s away matches this season are averaging 42.36 throws per game. Their FA Cup tie against Wolves saw more than 50 throws in each match. Just three of Liverpool’s 14 away matches this season have seen fewer than 39 throws.

Selection: Over 38.5 Throws In The Match (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 1.80 (Bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Odds above via bet365 as at 12:30 on 27th January 2023. Odds may now differ.

Derby vs West Ham Preview

Monday, January 30th, 20:00 (UK)

The FA Cup heats up on Monday night as Derby, who are in-form and currently 19 matches undefeated, host West Ham. Although the Rams were relegated from the Championship last season due to off-field turmoil, they are now pursuing promotion and believe they can overcome the struggling Hammers.

West Ham’s season has been underwhelming and they find themselves fighting against relegation. Manager David Moyes is under immense pressure, but the team’s recent win against Everton has provided some relief. This match will be a challenging test for both teams as they aim to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Derby vs West Ham Best Bet

Selection: Over 14.5 Shots For West Ham
Best Odds: 1.72 (Bet365)
Stakes: 6/10
