Despite Missing Key Players, City Can Pick Up Champions Cup Victory

Manchester City Battle Watford In FA Cup Final

It’s been a long and gruelling season, but finally, we’ve arrived at the FA Cup Final. It’s so often considered to be the final act of the English domestic campaign, and it’s hard to disagree with that. Over the years a lot of fans have stated that they believe the magic of the cup has disappeared, but we really do believe that it’s been on the rise as of late. Now, with just one game remaining in the competition,

Watford Battle Wolves In FA Cup Semi-Final At Wembley

The Premier League is an absolutely phenomenal competition and there’s no way of getting around that, but let’s face it – the FA Cup will always take the precedent on any weekend in which games are being played. Today and tomorrow will see the two semi-finals go down at Wembley Stadium, as all four sides battle it out for a place in next month’s big final. At this moment in time, it looks like Manchester City are going to be the ones who breeze through to Wembley once again,

Manchester City Face Brighton In FA Cup Semi-Final

Domestic football is what the majority of fans of the beautiful game tune in to see, and understandably so. International football only comes around every so often, whereas the actual club games occur on a week to week basis. Of course, most of those games we’re referring to are in the league, and not the cup – but that doesn’t mean we should neglect the true magic of cup football. This weekend we’re going to be treated to two FA Cup semi finals that are as different as they are exciting,

Wolves Battle Manchester United In FA Cup Quarter Final

The magic of the FA Cup is something that has been spoken of to no end over the course of the last few years, with the likes of BBC pushing the idea that the oldest club competition in the world still holds some prestige. Whilst we agree to a certain extent, it definitely feels like we need to see an injection of life in some way, shape or form. This weekend we will find out what the line-up is going to be for the semi finals at Wembley,

Chelsea to Progress Ahead of Manchester United on Monday Night

The final FA Cup tie of the weekend is at Stamford Bridge on Monday night, and afterwards we will know the line up for the quarter finals. Manchester City are through, and whichever team joins them from this tie will be the only other club from the Premier League top six in the draw. There is of course every chance that the winner of this tie could face Manchester City in the next round, and that would open up the door for one of the lower teams to really have a genuine chance of reaching the final and possibly winning it.

Doncaster Defence to Hold Firm Against Palace

The FA Cup is back this weekend and with just 16 teams in the hat, those lucky enough to get through the next stage will be in the quarter finals. We have already seen a number of shocks, and after this weekend we will have a maximum of two clubs from the Premier League’s top six left in the draw. Those looking for an upset this weekend in the 5th round may want to head up north and take a look at the game between Doncaster and Crystal Palace.

Brighton to Book FA Cup Quarter Final Spot on Saturday

The FA Cup returns this weekend and we have eight games spread across four days, all of which will be decided on the day as we are now at the stage where no replays will take place. On Saturday afternoon, Brighton host Derby in what will be the second game of the weekend, and there is no reason for the two teams to not fancy their chances in this one.

Brighton are rightfully favourites as the Premier League team in this tie,

Middlesbrough the Bet in FA Cup Replay Week

The FA Cup fourth round replays take place this week, with teams looking to book their place in the fifth round of the competition. One replay that takes place on Tuesday night sees Championship promotion contenders Middlesbrough travel to face Newport County, who are currently mid-table in League Two. After drawing at the Riverside in what was a surprise result, these two go head to head again and although they couldn’t get things done in the first game,

Tottenham Have Team Chemistry to Win in Pre-Season

Crystal Palace Face Tottenham In FA Cup

The FA Cup is a polarising competition at the best of times, which is a far cry from the years when it was considered to be the most valuable trophy you could win in English football. Nonetheless, the magic of the cup is still alive and well in some corners of the country, as we’re going to see this weekend. From the Football League all the way up to the Premier League there are a variety of clubs to sample over the course of the next few days,

Manchester City Host Burnley In FA Cup Clash

The Premier League is set to take a back seat this weekend, as we see the return of the FA Cup. The famous competition produced some fantastic games during the third round weekend, and now, 32 teams will be battling it out for 16 places in the fifth round. Some would argue that the magic of the cup has disappeared in recent years, but we happen to believe that’s the furthest thing from the truth.

Manchester United Can Ease to First Friendly Victory

Manchester United to Continue Impressive Form at The Emirates

The FA Cup returns this weekend and although games are spread across all four days from Friday to Monday, the best viewing of the weekend certainly comes on the opening night. Manchester United travel to The Emirates stadium to take on Arsenal in an all-Premier League battle, and one that is made even more intriguing by the state of both clubs right now.

The past few weeks, Manchester United have turned their season on its head after bringing in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to the club,

Blackburn Good Value to Beat Premier League Newcastle

This week sees the FA Cup third round replays take place and after a draw in the first game at St James’ Park, Blackburn face Newcastle at Ewood Park to determine who will make the fourth round. The winner of this tie will be at home in round four, taking on Premier League Watford and a home game should give them hope of reaching round five, despite the team waiting for them.

There is not too much between these two teams,
