Sunday 27th January 2019
FA Cup – Fourth Round, Stamford Bridge
Live on BBC One – Kick-Off: 18:00 GMT
Chelsea will host Sheffield Wednesday in FA Cup fourth round action. The hosts are in high spirits after cup success during the week.
Their victory over Spurs on penalties in the EFL Cup has seen them progress to the final of the competition. Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday are also in good form as they have won their previous two encounters 1-0. Chelsea beat Nottingham Forest in the third round whilst Sheffield Wednesday needed a replay to settle the score with Luton. The hosts are heavy favourites to win the match and SkyBet are offering 1/4 for them to win.
Chelsea’s form has been mixed in recent weeks however their last match they proved they can get over the line in a tough situation. They have also had some good news with the recruitment of striker Gonzalo Higuaín, however is inclusion is still unsure.
Olivier Giroud is a likely choice to spearhead the attack and is 7/2 to score first. Sarri’s side have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches in all competitions. They are priced at 13/8 to win and for both teams to score. The Championship side are priced at a huge 10/1 to pull off a historical victory.
Wednesday are on the up domestically and have lost just one of their last eight matches in all competitions. Detrimental to their upward spike in form has been attacker Lucas Joao. The Portuguese has scored 8 league goals and is an effective target man. He is priced at 10/3 to score anytime.
Wednesday are going to have a tough time trying to deal with whatever side Sarri plays. However, their form would suggest there will be an air of confidence heading into this one. They are priced at 20/1 to win and both teams to score.
The referee for this match will be Andre Marriner. The official has not been too lenient with the cards in his officiating of Premier League sides. The Englishman has averaged a total of 32.3 booking points in his 13 Premier League matches.
Chelsea vs Sheffield Wednesday will be televised on BBC One and BBC One HD and kicks off at 18:00.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur
Sunday 27th January 2019
FA Cup – Fourth Round, Selhurst ParkLive on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 16:00 GMT
The FA Cup fourth round has treated us to an all Premier League affair as Crystal Palace host Spurs.
The London derby will see two clubs whose league campaigns have fared rather differently so far. The hosts are currently 14th and checking their shoulders to avoid a relegation scrap meanwhile the visitors are pressuring the top two in 3rd place.
Both sides were fortunate to have rather easy third round draws. Crystal Palace saw off Grimsby whilst Tottenham thrashed Tranmere 7-0.
Crystal Palace are priced at 7/4 to win by SkyBet. The home side enter the match on the back of an incredible match with Liverpool in the Premier League. They lost 4-3 however have showcased in recent months their ability to battle with the best. Whilst goals have come at a premium for Roy Hodgson’s side, one man has been a reliable source of goals from the midfield. Luka Milivojevic has scored six goals for Palace in the league this season and is a threat from any set piece situation. He could be the key and is 12/5 top score anytime.
This match will be on a knife edge. The home side will feel confident in a victory being possible due to their opponent’s injury issues. SkyBet have priced Crystal Palace to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 at a tempting 11/4.
Tottenham are priced at 6/4 to win by SkyBet, who are struggling to decide a favourite. Spurs have been riddled with injuries and absentees in every position they wouldn’t have wanted. Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Hueng-Min Son, Lucas Moura, Victor Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko are all unavailable for the match. With the injury crisis, pressure is now on Fernando Llorente to deliver the goods. The Spaniard bagged a hattrick in their last FA Cup match and is 9/2 to score first.
It could be a tough match to get the upper hand in and one moment could settle the odds. Spurs are priced at a tempting 7/2 to win to nil.
During the Premier League season, Crystal Palace have been the more abrasive of the two sides. They have averaged 19.1 booking points per match whilst Spurs have only averaged 13.8.
Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur will be televised on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport 4K UHD and kicks off at 16:00.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1 – 0 Tottenham Hotspur
It will be tight and tense however a win would mean more for the hosts than the visitors.

The visitors have kept two clean sheets in their last three matches in all competitions and both teams have scored in just one of their last five outings. SkyBet have priced them at 11/8 to win to nil. The home side have an incredibly well-disciplined record this season in League One with an average of just 11.5 booking points per match.
