FA Cup Preview

We are now into the fifth round of the competition, and most of the big clubs have managed to avoid each other, meaning that there’s the possibility of some big giant killings ahead of the latter stages of the tournament.

Mansfield and Wrexham face some of the Premier League ‘Big 6’, whilst Newcastle take on Man City.

Check out our FA Cup preview, which covers one of the big matches, to help you when placing your bets on the football with Betfred.

Mansfield vs Arsenal (Saturday 12:15pm)

The magic of the FA Cup heads to Field Mill this Saturday lunchtime as League One Mansfield Town host Premier League leaders Arsenal. Nigel Clough’s Stags have already produced some massive giant-killings this season, dumping out both Sheffield United and Burnley. However, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners represent an entirely different beast.

Arsenal arrive flying high after a gritty 1-0 win at Brighton and are still actively hunting an unprecedented quadruple. While the tight pitch and no doubt loud home crowd will try to make it a tough afternoon, Arsenal’s sheer quality and depth should eventually shine through. Backing Arsenal to Win to Nil or looking at the Under 3.5 Goals market makes sense if you expect the hosts to dig deep and defend for their lives.

Wrexham vs Chelsea (Saturday 5:45pm)

Saturday evening’s late kick-off sees Chelsea travel to Wales for what could be a giant killing in the FA Cup. Wrexham’s rise up the pyramid has been well-documented, but strictly on the pitch, Phil Parkinson’s men have forged a reputation as a relentless, physical outfit that thrives under the lights at home.

They’ll be looking to make this a chaotic, high-tempo game, pumping balls into the box and putting the Premier League giants under intense pressure from the first whistle. For Chelsea, the mandate is all about professionalism and game management. They have the quality to dominate possession, but rotating a squad amidst a congested fixture list always carries a risk in these hostile environments.

If the visitors can silence the crowd early and dictate the tempo, their top-flight quality should eventually tell. However, if Wrexham can drag them into a physical scrap, an old-fashioned cup upset isn’t entirely out of the question.

Betting markets reveal FA Cup favourites

It is no shock to see Arsenal as the favourites to win the FA Cup with UK betting sites, while Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea are also heavily in the running to lift the trophy at Wembley.

Arsenal look like the best team in the country at the moment, no matter how much they are slated for their playstyle, and although the Premier League and the Champions League would be the priority, lifting their first FA Cup in over five years would be a great achievement.
