English FA Cup Fifth Round Proper

Blackburn Rovers vs Newcastle United

Blackburn is playing decent soccer. The +1 underdog in this beat Stoke City 3-1 on Feb 10 and drew against Preston North End and Cardiff on Feb 17 and Feb 20.

But although Blackburn is playing well, the Rovers are up against a hot Newcastle United side. Newcastle beat Fulham on Jan 27, Aston Villa on the road on Jan 30 and Nottingham on Feb 10. The road squad covers.

Luton Town vs Manchester City

Man City is the much better squad. The defending FA Cup Champions are on their way to another English Premier League title, possible Champions League trophy, and back-to-back FA Cup wins.

But although City won’t lose this, laying the -1.5 isn’t the play. Luton lost by 3 to Liverpool on Feb 21, but the Sky Blues aren’t dominating, winning most of their games by a single goal. Take the +1.5.

Chelsea vs Leeds United

Leicester City and Leeds are dominating the English League Championship. But there’s a reason the Premier relegated both LC and the road squad in this after last season.

Chelsea, for all of their issues this season, have begun to coalesce into a decent soccer club. The Blues recently drew against Manchester City 1-1. Chelsea wins this by at least 2.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United

Man U has a massive game versus rival Manchester City on Sunday. So the Red Devils may not be as focused against Nottingham in an FA Cup match as they have been in recent games.

Still, the United is playing as well as they have been in the past three seasons. The Red Devils are having fun on the pitch and Nottingham doesn’t have the roster to compete. United gets the road win.
