Few I like this afternoon;

Burnley +105ish over QPR

-Burnley on a bit of a slide (results wise) recently but are still playing good football. Manager will use this game to try to regain momentum. QPR, one of the richest teams in the world, is still trying to find themselves this year. They are struggling to score and have changed managers already this season. Despite the many riches of the owners they still haven't brought in significant players to upgrade the roster. This mediocre side have only managed a total of 5 goals in their 13 games away from home in the league, truly horrible.

imo Burnley appear to be the more stable and slightly better side. Playing on their home ground should be enough to push them through to the next round.


Peterborough pk -120ish over WBA

-Peterborough are doing well in the third division (officially "League One") after gaining promotion last year. They have a good chance of earning anothe promotion this season. They play excellent football and score plenty of goals. A late goal at WBA earned them this replay and a good crowd should get behind them to "upset" the premiership side.

On the other side WBA are in the relegation zone in the premiership. IMO they have a chance of survival as their play haven't matched up with their results fairly. With a few more bounces their way they could survive this year. Anywho with survival the clear number one goal for this team I expect West Brom to field a mixed team. I will be quite surprised if this isn't the case. They have a big game against Middlesbrough on Saturday and are coming off a tough 2-1 loss at Aston Villa this past Saturday.


Swansea -140ish over Histon

-Swansea finally broke their run of many draws (incredible 8 consecutive draws) with a nice victory at Burnley over the weekend. This is another team who gained promotion last year and have done well to start the year in the second division.

Don't have a lot to say about this one as I just believe the class difference will be too much. Histon has upset two league teams to reach this point and as a result I think they are garnering too much respect today. I know Swansea probably won't field their typical first team but I don't think it will matter.
