Brentford travel to Macclesfield as overwhelming favourites, but the hosts have been prolific in front of goal in their league and cup campaigns. While Brentford's Premier League pedigree should see them through, Macclesfield's attack and home momentum suggest they can make their mark, especially if Brentford rotate. Expect an open contest with a good chance of goals, though Brentford's quality should ultimately prevail.

Arsenal host Wigan in the FA Cup as overwhelming favourites. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five, with four wins and a draw, and are averaging 2.4 goals scored per game while conceding just 0.6. Wigan, meanwhile, are in poor form with four straight losses and a leaky defence, conceding nearly 3 per game in their last five. Arsenal's attack should dominate, and a clean sheet is likely given Wigan's lack of attacking threat. Expect Arsenal to control possession, create more chances, and win comfortably.

Fulham travel to Stoke as strong favourites in this FA Cup clash. Stoke are in poor form, winless in five and struggling badly for goals, averaging just 0.4 per game in that stretch. Fulham have lost three straight but all against Premier League opposition, and their underlying attacking stats remain far superior. Historically, Fulham have had the edge in this fixture and should have too much quality for a Stoke side lacking confidence and cutting edge. Expect Fulham to control possession and territory, with Stoke likely to sit deep and struggle to create chances.

Sunderland enter this FA Cup tie as strong favourites against Oxford United. Oxford are struggling for form, with just one win in their last five and three matches without scoring. Sunderland, while inconsistent in the Premier League, have a clear edge in quality and have dominated the head-to-head history. Expect Sunderland to control the match, limit Oxford's chances, and progress with a professional, low-scoring win.

Wolves travel to Grimsby as heavy favourites in this FA Cup tie. Grimsby have shown strong recent form in League Two, especially defensively, but face a significant step up in class. Wolves have struggled for goals in the Premier League recently but showed attacking potential in their FA Cup tie against lower-league opposition. Expect Wolves to control the game, with Grimsby likely to defend deep and look for set piece opportunities. Goals may be limited, but there is some value in the over given the odds.

Leeds enter as favorites, buoyed by Premier League opposition and a strong away record in the FA Cup. Birmingham are in decent form at home, with three wins in their last five, but generally struggle to score heavily. Both teams are defensively solid in recent matches, but Leeds' higher-level experience and attacking depth give them an edge. Expect a cautious first half, with Leeds likely to assert control as the match progresses.

Liverpool come into this FA Cup tie at Anfield in strong form, having won three of their last five matches, including a 6-0 Champions League win and a 4-1 home victory in the previous FA Cup round. Brighton, by contrast, are on a poor run with no wins in their last five league games, struggling for goals and failing to keep a clean sheet. Recent head-to-heads also favour Liverpool, especially at Anfield. Expect Liverpool to dominate possession and chances, with Brighton likely to sit deep and struggle to create. Liverpool's attack should eventually break through, but Brighton's defensive approach may keep the scoreline respectable.

Aston Villa come into this FA Cup clash in slightly better recent form than Newcastle, with two wins in their last three and a solid defensive record (0.8 conceded per game in last 5). Newcastle, however, have struggled defensively, conceding 2.4 per game in their last 5, but remain a threat in attack and have scored in every recent match. The H2H history is balanced but slightly favours Newcastle, though Villa won the most recent meeting away. Expect a tight, competitive match with Villa's home advantage and Newcastle's attacking intent suggesting both teams can score, but Villa's defence may prove decisive.

Southampton enter this FA Cup tie in strong form, unbeaten in their last five and coming off a dramatic 4-3 away win at Leicester. Leicester, by contrast, are on a four-game losing streak and have struggled defensively, conceding 2.2 goals per game in their last five. However, H2H history suggests Leicester are capable of competing, and recent meetings have been high-scoring. Expect Southampton to control more of the play at home, but Leicester's counter-attacking threat and cup motivation could keep things close. Goals are likely, with both teams possessing enough attacking quality to find the net.

Burnley, despite some recent inconsistency, are clear favorites at home against Mansfield Town. The Premier League side's attacking quality and cup pedigree should prove too much for a Mansfield team that has struggled to score and win in recent League One matches. Expect Burnley to control the game, with a likely clean sheet and a couple of goals to see them through.

Manchester City are overwhelming favourites at home against League Two side Salford City in this FA Cup tie. City's recent form is excellent, with three straight wins and a 10-1 FA Cup demolition of Exeter earlier in the season. Salford have struggled for consistency in League Two and have failed to score in two of their last five. The last H2H saw City win 8-0. Expect a dominant City performance, early goals, and a likely clean sheet.

Norwich come into this FA Cup tie in excellent form, having won 4 of their last 5 matches and recently thrashing West Brom 5-0 away. Their attack is firing, averaging 2.4 goals per game in the last 5, while their defense has been solid, conceding just 0.4 per game. West Brom, by contrast, are struggling badly in front of goal, failing to score in 4 of their last 5 and averaging just 0.2 goals per game. The H2H record is fairly balanced over the long term, but the most recent meeting was a heavy Norwich win. With no major injuries and a strong home advantage, Norwich are deserved favorites and look likely to progress.

This FA Cup tie sees League One Port Vale host Championship side Bristol City at Vale Park. Port Vale come into the match in poor form, having lost three of their last five and conceding heavily at home. Their attack has struggled, averaging less than a goal per game over the last five. Bristol City, despite a heavy recent defeat, have generally performed well in the Championship and have a much higher quality squad. Historical head-to-head meetings are dominated by Bristol City, who have won three of the last four. Expect Bristol City to control the match, limit Port Vale's chances, and progress with a professional, low-scoring win.

This FA Cup tie pits League One Burton Albion against Premier League West Ham. Burton's recent league form is poor (no wins in last 5), conceding 2 goals per game, though they have scored in every match. West Ham arrive in solid form, with 3 wins and a draw in their last 5, and have fielded strong lineups in the cup. Expect West Ham to dominate possession and chances, with Burton looking to exploit set pieces and home advantage. Goals are likely, with West Ham's superior attack expected to prevail.

Chelsea travel to Hull City as overwhelming favorites in this FA Cup tie. Hull have shown some resilience in the Championship but lack the firepower and defensive solidity to consistently trouble Premier League opposition. Chelsea's recent form is strong, with attacking output spread across multiple competitions. The H2H record is one-sided, with Chelsea winning all recent meetings. Expect Chelsea to control possession, create more chances, and likely keep a clean sheet against a Hull side struggling for goals at home.

This FA Cup tie at the Racecourse Ground features Wrexham hosting Ipswich. Both sides have shown patchy recent form, with Wrexham slightly less consistent and Ipswich marginally stronger, particularly in attack. The only recent H2H ended goalless, and both teams have a tendency for lower-scoring matches. Ipswich's away form and defensive solidity give them a narrow edge, but Wrexham's home advantage and cup motivation could keep it close.
