The FA Cup, Quarter-Final, The Den

Millwall will meet Brighton in FA Cup action this Sunday with a place at Wembley the prize.
The hosts narrowly defeated AFC Wimbledon in the last round to reach the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Brighton saw off Derby County thanks to two first-half goals.
Millwall, one of the two Championship sides left in the competition, are priced at 13/5 to win by SkyBet. The London based club have not been too convincing in this competition despite reaching this stage. All of their matches have been decided by a one-goal margin. Their most prolific scorer this season has been Lee Gregory with 12 goals in all competitions. The striker will provide an aerial threat for the hosts and is priced at 12/5 to score anytime.
One statistic Millwall will want to keep running is their record against top-flight clubs in the FA Cup. They have won their last five matches against Premier League opposition and are 5/1 to win to nil.
Brighton are favourites for the tie and are priced at 11/10 to win in 90 minutes. This is the second successive season that Brighton have reached this stage of the competition. Their recent form should give them some confidence with three wins from their last five matches. Glenn Murray scored yet again for the Seagulls in their previous outing and could be pivotal is the visitors are to score and is 5/4 to score anytime.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton has a great record against Millwall with two wins and one draw. They are 5.2 to win to nil.
The referee for this match will be Chris Kavanagh. The official has been a regular in the Premier League this season and has averaged 35 booking points per match in the top-flight. With a place in the semi-final up for grabs, it could become a feisty encounter. 50+ booking points is priced at 6/4.

Swansea City vs Manchester City – Match Preview
Swansea City vs Manchester City
Saturday 16th March 2019
The FA Cup, Quarter-Final, Liberty Stadium
Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 17:20 GMT
FA Cup action is back this weekend with favourites Manchester City travelling to South Wales to face championship Swansea City in the quarter-finals.
Both clubs progressed from the last round with the same 4-1 score line. The hosts were rampant in the second half against Brentford whilst Manchester City eventually raced away against Newport County.
Swansea are clear underdogs for this encounter and are priced at 18/1 to win by SkyBet. Graham Potter’s side have a huge task ahead of them that their recent form shows they will struggle with. They have lost 3 or their last five matches and won the other two. However, in this competition they have impressed, especially in the last round. Dan James was a standout performer and scored a memorable, pitch-long goal. His pace is probably the biggest threat to Manchester City’s defence, and he is 5/1 to score anytime.
Manchester City shouldn’t have too many issues this Saturday and are priced at 1/7 to win. Pep Guardiola’s side will not take this tie lightly however some big players may be given a rest after their 7-0 victory over Schalke. They have been rather outstanding across all competitions and are priced at 4/5 to win the FA Cup. Striker Sergio Aguero managed to get a brace in their last outi9ng and will prove a real headache to the hosts inexperienced defence. He is 13/5 to score first on Saturday evening.
In all competitions, City have begun matches strongly and scored first in nine of their last ten matches. SkyBet are offering 1/1 for over 1.5 goals in the first half.
The referee for this match will be Simon Hooper. With a place at Wembley on the cards, both sides will want to give all they have so I’d expect the man in the middle to be busy with the cards.
Swansea City vs Manchester City will be televised on BT Sport 2 in the UK and kicks off at 17:20 GMT.

Leeds United vs Sheffield United – Match Preview
Leeds United vs Sheffield United
Saturday 16th March 2019
The Championship, Elland Road
Live on Sky Sports Football/Sky Sports Main Event– Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT
Leeds United and Sheffield United meet this weekend in a match that could have a huge effect on the automatic promotion places in the SkyBet Championship.
Both teams are in red hot form entering this match. The home side have won their last three matches and have scored eight unanswered goals. Meanwhile, the visitors have won six of their last eight matches and drawn the other two.
Leeds United are favourites for this match and are priced at 21/20 to win by SkyBet. Marcelo Bielsa has been making plenty of improvements at Leeds united and one noticeable is their form at Elland Road. They have won eight of their last ten home matches and beat their opponents last time they met there in 2010. A win would see Leeds jump five points ahead of Sheffield United and maybe overtake Norwich in top spot. Pablo Hernandez has been in great form and grabbed a brace in their last outing away at Reading. The Spaniard is priced at 14/1 to score from outside the area.
Leeds defence has been incredibly impressive since the turn of the year. They have conceded just one goal from open play and are priced at 5/2 to win to nil.
Sheffield United are priced at very tempting odds of 5/2 to win. Chris Wilder’s side are unbeaten in nine matches as they are pushing for a top two spot. However, their away form has been their downfall at times as their clinical edge seems to disappear. They have drawn three of their last five away matches. Billy Sharp has been the talisman this season with 22 goals and is priced at 15/8.
The referee for this match will be David Coote. The official has not been in charge of too many Championship matches however has averaged 36.1 booking points. Expect cards due to the calibre of the match – 60+ booking points is 5/4.
Leeds United vs Sheffield United will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football with kick off at 12:30 GMT.
Prediction: Leeds United 2 – Sheffield United 1
– The home advantage could see Bielsa’s side rally on in this promotion six-pointer.
