FA Cup 4th Round takes place this weekend and we select 4 of the matches to have a bet on.
FRIDAY
MANCHESTER UNITED v MIDDLESBROUGH
This game takes place on Friday night and sees English Premier League side, Manchester United taking on Championship team, Middlesbrough.
United currently sit 4th in the English Premier League having won their last 2 matches and as far as the FA Cup goes they beat Aston Villa 1-0 at home in the 3rd Round.
Middlesbrough have been on a good run of form which has seen them win 7 of their last 8 games and they got to the 4th round of the FA Cup courtesy of a 3-2 away win over Mansfield.

Manchester United 4/11
Draw 4/1
Middlesbrough 15/2
Suggested Bet: Correct Score Manchester United 2-1 at 15/2
I think we are in for an entertaining fixture here, Middlesbrough are certainly playing some good football and I think they can give United a run for their money. I am keen to start my Friday night with a small interest though so speculative play at the Correct Score Market it is.
SATURDAY
EVERTON v BRENTFORD
This is of course an all English Premier League clash and looking at League positions Everton currently sit 16th 2 positions behind Brentford who sit 14th.
Brentford’s form hasn’t been great though and they have lost their last 4 League games in succession although Everton have only taken 1 point from the last 15 they have played for in the League.
Everton required extra time to beat Hull on the road to get to the 4th Round while Brentford had few problems seeing off Port Vale 4-1.

Everton 11/10
Draw 95/40
Brentford 12/5
Suggested Bet: Everton win at 11/10
I am going to keep things simple here as I think Everton are resigned to a very poor season in the League and are going to concentrate on the FA Cup run.
TOTTENHAM v BRIGHTON
This is an all English Premier League clash and looking at their League positions not much separates the sides with Tottenham in 7th and Brighton 6 points behind them in 9th. As far as recent League form goes Tottenham lost their last game while Brighton have drawn 4 of their last 5.
Tottenham had few problems seeing off lower League, Morecambe 3-1 in their 3rd Round clash and Brighton had a harder time against West Brom, winning 2-1 in extra time.

Tottenham 19/20
Draw 12/5
Brighton 28/10
Suggested Bet: Tottenham win at 19/20
Once again I am keeping things simple here as I expect Tottenham to go on a Cup run and they certainly have the pedigree in this competition.
Brighton have had a good season and while they look to be safe from relegation I do think that their main focus is going to be on maintaining that top 10 EPL spot.
SUNDAY
LIVERPOOL v CARDIFF
Our final match of the weekend sees EPL Team, Liverpool take on Championship side, Cardiff.
Liverpool currently sit 2nd in the English Premier League, 9 points behind Manchester City, but with a game in hand. They have won their last 2 League matches and they had no problem in hammering Shrewsbury 4-1 at home in the 3rd Round.
Cardiff are languishing towards the foot of the Championship currently sitting in 20th position, but their fans can take heart that they have won their last 2 matches in the League and they beat Preston 2-1 at home in extra time to book their spot in the 4th Round.

Liverpool 1/7
Draw 15/2
Cardiff 22/1
Suggested Bet: Liverpool First Half Goals Over 1.5 at 16/10
I am expecting Liverpool to make a strong start here to put the game to bed early. For this bet to arrive I need Liverpool to score at least 2 goals in the first half.
