The FA Cup is one of the few ways for a team which season is going quite poorly, to enjoy some unforgettable joyous moments, not to mention making a mediocre season – a successful one. For underachievers such as Tottenham, Blackburn and Sunderland, the FA Cup is the best remedy, and who knows? They might take a good cup run and make it a stepping stone towards improved league performances.
Using my gut feeling and BetUknow top predictor's predictions I will try to concentrate on two possible surprises:
1. Sheffield Wednesday v Fulham: Roy Hodgeson managed to turn Fulham’s fortunes and after avoiding relegation, The Cottagers are performing quite well this season, finding themselves high in the table. This makes them clear favourites for this one, but… Hmm… being a favourite is unknown turf for them. While they will have to come out and attack, Wednesday will try to hold the lines and sting with a couple of counter attacks. I won’t be surprised if this will happen.
2. West Ham United v Barnsley: Last season saw Barnsley managing their way to the semi finals, after a string of shocking wins against both Liverpool and Chelsea. Well, I'm not saying they can repeat this amazing run, but a draw at Upton Park does not seem to be farfetched.
