A total of 11 ties take place in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday – and we have selected four for an accumulator that pays over 15/1.
Go to William Hill Saturday's games page and back the following fourfold bet which would return £158.83 for a £10 stake if all correct (individual odds in brackets):
Swansea City to win away to Blackburn Rovers (7/5)
West Bromwich Albion to win away to Birmingham City (11/10)
Cardiff City v Reading – both teams to score (13/20)
Sunderland v Fulham – Under 3 goals (10/11)
William Hill are offering competitive odds for all four selections, the reasoning for which is as follows:
Swansea appear to be undergoing a squad revamp after selling Wilfried Bony to Manchester City, but given their secure league placing there is no reason why they should not have a run at the FA Cup this season.
Any concerns about the Swans scoring enough goals were eased when they won 6-2 at Tranmere in the previous round without Bony and they can go through to the last 16 at Ewood Park.
This local derby is sure to be a keenly-contested affair, both clubs having installed new managers relatively recently who are going the right way about reviving the team’s fortunes.
Tony Pulis is unbeaten since he took the reins at West Brom and while Gary Rowett is also doing a good job with Birmingham, they had to struggle like mad to overcome non-League side Blyth Spartans in the last round - and that suggests the FA Cup may not be a priority for the Blues.
Cardiff are one of the best home teams in the Championship, but they do concede goals on their own pitch as well and that will give Reading plenty of optimism.
We would not be at all surprised to see this game end in a score draw which would mean a replay along the M4 at the Madejski Stadium, but the safer option for the acca is to back both teams to find the net just in case Cardiff further enhance their excellent record on their own pitch.
Going low on goals in Sunderland games is never a bad policy, especially at home where their form is of relegation standard.
The Black Cats edged their last FA Cup tie 1-0 against Leeds and while Fulham are scoring goals at present, they could find it difficult to do that at the Stadium of Light.
