With the Premier League on break this weekend, we bring you D Pundit’s FA Cup predictions for all the FA Cup fixtures across the country.
Godwin D Pundit is here to guide you through via his predictions and analysis. So, with Liverpool and Manchester United set to clash this weekend, who is the pundit backing for the win?
Read on to find out his prediction on the game as well as his take on other FA Cup matches billed for this weekend.
Southampton vs Arsenal
What better game to start D Pundit’s FA Cup predictions than this? These two will go head-to-head twice in the space of three days (as they will clash in midweek for their Premier League fixture). Southampton can be very tricky and I expect them to really trouble Arsenal here. Record has shown that matches between these two sides are always tight and I expect this one to follow suit. However, I expect Arsenal on the back of their current form to at least try avoiding defeat here at the end of 90 minutes. The Gunners have won five out of their previous six games in all competitions, drawing once. I am going to back Mikel Arteta’s men to either win or draw at odds of 1.32 with BestBet360.
D’Punditz correct score prediction: Southampton 0-1 Arsenal (7.70 odds with BestBet360)
West Ham vs Doncaster Rovers
Doncaster Rovers might be playing League One football, but they shouldn’t be underrated here. They defeated Championship side Blackburn to get to this stage and they are currently on a three-game winning streak. So West Ham will need to be at their very best if they want to win this one. However, West Ham also come into this one in the best of form – having won all their previous four games in all competitions. So, for D Pundit’s FA Cup predictions, I am going to back West Ham to win this one at 1.35 odds with BestBet360. However, I won’t be shocked if Doncaster Rovers come up with an upset here.
D’Punditz correct score prediction: West Ham 2-1 Doncaster Rovers (8.80 odds with BestBet360)

Cheltenham vs Manchester City
I think Pep Guardiola might decide to start his reserve team here and still win the game. Cheltenham (who ply their trade in League Two) are struggling at the moment. I think they will be lucky to still be in this game at half time. I am going to tip Manchester City to win to nil here – which is priced at 1.76 odds with BestBet360.
D’Punditz correct score prediction: Cheltenham 0-3 Manchester City (7.30 odds with BestBet360)
Chelsea vs Luton Town
The Championship outfit will have it all to do when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Under-fire manager Frank Lampard will be demanding nothing but the win here, because anything other than that might spell the end of his managerial career at Chelsea. I think those Chelsea players are also willing to turn things around and they can start with a win here. For D Pundit’s FA Cup predictions, we are going to back Chelsea to win to nil here at 1.77 odds with BestBet360.
D’Punditz correct score prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Luton Town (6.70 odds with BestBet360)
Brentford vs Leicester City
Leicester City haven’t conceded a goal in their last three goals in all competitions and I am backing them to keep another clean sheet here at 2.45 odds with BestBet360. Brentford are not doing bad in the Championship but I think Leicester will frustrate them on Sunday.
D’Punditz correct score prediction: Brentford 0-1 Leicester City (7.60 odds with BestBet360)
Manchester United vs Liverpool
These two met in the Premier League last weekend, with the game ending in barren stalemate. I expect this one to produce goals as both clubs will look to outwit each other. Liverpool suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Burnley on Thursday in their Premier League fixture. So, they will be out to make amends here. Manchester United who have failed to score just twice out of their previous ten games in all competitions are expected to find the back of the net here. That’s why D Pundit’s FA Cup predictions best pick here is for both teams to score – valued at 1.63 odds with BestBet360.
D’Punditz correct score prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool (6.90 odds with BestBet360)

Everton vs Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield United come into this clash on the back of three successive wins in all competition, so, they are not to be underestimated here. However I think Everton will prove their superiority and come out of this one with the win – priced at 1.36 odds with BestBet360.
D’Punditz correct score prediction: Everton 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday (8.50 odds with BestBet360)
