Crystal Palace ML over Millwall (-340), 7:15 am ET, Saturday
The early-morning London meeting between Crystal Palace and Millwall should see a home win for the increasingly confident Eagles. The Premier League side can outclass the Championship club at Selhurst Park. Palace have lost just 1 of their last 10 games against lower-league opposition and they enter this game bursting with self-belief after a 4-1 EPL triumph over Aston Villa on Tuesday. 3 of Millwall’s key players will be unavailable, due to having previously played in the FA Cup for another club this season, so carry a weakened squad to Crystal Palace. That could make the difference and see Oliver Glasner’s team progress.

Bournemouth ML over Wolves (-145), 10:00 am ET, Saturday
Bournemouth fans have been loving the adventures of this season and there is a belief on the south coast that the Cherries can go on to lift the FA Cup. Dreams of a trip to Wembley are high among the Bournemouth squad and they can be expected to beat Wolves at the Vitality Stadium.
Despite Wolves’ recent success at Bournemouth, it’s worth bearing in mind that Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi suffered an early red card which allowed the visitors to take charge. Without any serious interventions from the referee on Saturday, Bournemouth’s extra attacking quality should prove decisive in this one.

Manchester City ML over Plymouth (-1800), 12:45 pm ET, Saturday
Plymouth Argyle shocked Liverpool in the previous round of the FA Cup, but that was at Home Park, where a hostile crowd helped the underdogs. A trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Man City is a more daunting task for Plymouth. The Citizens have had a terrible season by their high standards, but the result of that failure is that the FA Cup has become a huge priority. Never before has Pep Guardiola been so serious about succeeding in this competition. Expect a ruthless performance from Man City and for the lowly visitors to be rapidly outclassed.

Fulham ML over Manchester United (+185), 11:30 am ET, Sunday
Manchester United fans got some respite when their team scraped a 3-2 win over Ipswich on Wednesday, but beating those EPL strugglers has seemed to merely paper over the huge cracks at Old Trafford. Relatively new manager Ruben Amorim has an enormous rebuilding program on his hands.
Expect the smiles of Wednesday to be replaced by frowns on Sunday after Fulham have visited the red side of Manchester in the FA Cup. Marco Silva’s Cottagers are a well-organized and effective unit – every member of the team knows their role well – and the stability of the Londoners gives them the edge over the struggling Red Devils.
