FA Cup Quarter Final Preview And Betting Tips

This weekend we have a smaller than usual Premier League matchday due to the fact that there are four teams involved in the FA Cup Quarter Finals, which also take place this weekend.

With just four EPL teams involved, that means we have three Championship teams also in with a chance of earning a place at a Wembley semi-final, while League Two Grimsby Town have the chance to earn an incredible semi-final spot too.

Bet365 Sport has an extensive range of bets available across all four FA Cup Quarterfinals this weekend and you can view them all oh the site right now.

Manchester City v Burnley (5.45pm)

Vincent Kompany will get a warm welcome back at the club he captained to Premier League title success but now as manager of Championship leaders Burnley. The Clarets look set for a quick return back to the Premier League, but face a City team on a high after an incredible 7-0 thrashing of Red Bull Leipzig in midweek, in which Braut Haaland scored five goals.

Sunday 19th March

Sheffield United v Blackburn Rovers (12.00pm)

Second place in the Championship table takes on fifth place in what should be an interesting game between two teams with Premier League promotion ambitions this season. Rovers got the better of the Blades just a couple of weeks ago in the league, but with the home team having the advantage in recent times in this game, could the Blades strike back here?
