Nottingham Forest v Bristol City – Click here to bet
Nottingham Forest required a replay to win their 3rd Round encounter having drawn 2-2 at home to Blackpool before winning in extra time on the road. They then played their third consecutive FA Cup draw with a goalless match at Bristol City.
Nottingham drew 1-1 with Bournemouth away in the League on the weekend and they are without a victory in their last 4 games across all competitions.
Bristol City also required a replay in their 3rd Round encounter with West Ham drawing 1-1 at West Ham before beating them 1-0 at home. Their goalless draw against Nottingham means that there has only been a total of 3 goals in Bristol City’s 3 matches to date.
Aside from the FA Cup 4th Round fixture, these sides met in the Championship in the 2021/22 season with Nottingham winning both matches.
Overall Bristol City aren’t in great shape having won just 1 of their last 9 matches across all competitions.
Both of these teams are struggling at the moment, but I think Notts Forest will justify the 4/7 favouritism although I don’t see them running away with the game. I am going to back them to then win by exactly 1 goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Nottingham Forest -1 goal, the draw at 26/10

Aston Villa v Chelsea – Click here to bet
This is a mouth-watering all English Premier League affair and fans will be hoping for more action than we saw in the goalless draw at Chelsea last time out.
Aston Villa edged Middlesbrough 1-0 on the road in the 3rd Round and a 5-0 hammering of Sheffield United away in the League on the weekend broke a run of 3 successive matches without a victory.
Chelsea had few problems getting to the 4th Round beating Preston 4-0 at home in the 3rd Round. They were 9/10 to beat Aston Villa, but neither team troubled the scorers.
Villa beat Chelsea 1-0 away in the Premier League earlier in the season and the last 5 head-to-head matches between the sides have delivered profits for under 2.5 goal backers.
Aston Villa have wobbled a bit of late, but to me there is something not right with this Chelsea team and I am going for a home win here.
Suggested Bet: Aston Villa win at 23/20.
