After last night’s replay (Leeds/Arsenal) we know exactly who is playing who in the FA Cup 4th Round now. Please feel welcome to comment on any games you like, but what really interests me most are your opinions on matches with a TWO divisional gap between the sides – these I have put into RED, representing the biggest possible banana skins. Other games of a one division difference are indicated in blue.


FA Cup fourth round draw:
Torquay v Crawley Town
Watford v Brighton

Bolton v Wigan
Arsenal v Huddersfield
Fulham v Tottenham
Everton v Chelsea
Southampton v Manchester United
Swansea v Leyton Orient
Burnley v Burton
Birmingham v Coventry
Wolves v Stoke
Notts County v Man City
Stevenage v Reading

Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers
West Ham v Nottingham Forest
Sheffield Wednesday v Hereford


So … where are the possible upsets this time?
Predictions please (but don’t you dare say Reading!) …

From the South Bank to the East Stand
Saints vs Manchester Utd
When they were in the Premiership, Saints pulled off some remarkable victories against a very strong United side. Knowing this, they won't need any help motivating themselves for the tie and I reckon they could sneak it.

West Ham vs Forest
The Hammers are low on confidence at the moment so this game is winnable for Forest.

Burnley vs Burton
The Clarets haven't been playing to badly recently but I think Burton will do their best to get in their faces and stop them from playing. Think this one could go to a replay.

Torquay v Crawley Town 1-1
Watford v Brighton 1-0
Bolton v Wigan 2-1
Arsenal v Huddersfield 4-0
Fulham v Tottenham 1-3
Everton v Chelsea 0-2
Southampton v Manchester United 0-2
Swansea v Leyton Orient 2-1

Wolves v Stoke 1-1
Notts County v Man City 1-1
Stevenage v Reading 1-3

Potential slip ups by Man City, Burnley and West Ham. But then in the FA Cup anything can happen!

I've got to be honest and say the only potential shocks I can see is that Reading would lose to Stevenage. I don't think it's going to happen, but out of the other ties there won't be any shocks (If Forest beat West Ham that's not really a shock since they're bottom)

Stevenage will be up for this to progress and I think the match will be harder than everyone thinks. We should win reasonably easily on paper, but I can see us thinking it'll be too easy and getting knocked about a bit.

Don't think anyone's mentioned, but also Notts county have a very good cup record of late - if Man city don't take the game seriously they might have real red faces afterwards ...

Forest : Very Good Form and will be up for the game

Hammers : Poor Form and they will just want to concentrate on the league
