Will the FA Cup 5th round give us any shocks?! ? pic.twitter.com/CzVaOhfAkc
Bournemouth vs Wolves
Bournemouth have had their struggles in recent outings, seeing a 12-game unbeaten run end with a defeat to Liverpool, followed by two wins and two defeats in the next four, including back-to-back losses coming into this one.
While one of those losses did come to Wolves, who have won three of their last five, Bournemouth will remain as strong favourites heading into this one.
Not only do Bournemouth hold the home advantage, but they will be eager to bounce back from successive losses, and given the talent they possess throughout their squad and the levels they have reached this term, we expect the hosts to win here.
Bournemouth to win, 1.77
Manchester City vs Plymouth Argyle
Manchester City may not be in the greatest form heading into this match, but they are undoubtedly the overwhelming favourites to secure a comfortable victory against a side that are battling against relegation from the Championship.
The gulf in ability between the two is extremely apparent, expect the Citizens to put together a convincing victory on Saturday evening.
Manchester City to win @ over 2.5 goals, 1.22
Newcastle United vs Brighton
Both teams come into this fixture having been in and out of form. Newcastle have been inconsistent of late after hitting form earlier this year, while Brighton have found form after the 7-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, winning all four since. With Newcastle having their priorities lying with the EFL Cup Final and finishing in the top four, they will make plenty of changes and are missing Alexander Isak.
With that in mind, Brighton are good value to win this one in 90 minutes and progress to the quarter-finals.
Brighton to win, 3.15
We ?????? this bet & could be in for another HUGE win! ??

Manchester United vs Fulham
Manchester United’s inconsistent season continued in their most recent outing, narrowly defeating Ipswich Town 3-2 in a game that saw them go behind, take the lead, be drawn back to 2-2 and eventually score the winner, all while playing with 10-men from the 43rd minute onwards.
Despite their inconsistency, Man United have now lost only two of their last eight across all competitions, while their opponents, Fulham, have lost three of their past eight, including a defeat to Man United in that time.
The Cottagers also have a poor record when travelling to Old Trafford, with only one win in their last 17 visits in all competitions, leading us to believe the Red Devils will scrape a narrow victory here.
Manchester United to win, 2.44
