Wolves to beat Coventry @ 1.64
Coventry’s dream of a trip to Wembley hangs in the balance as they face a mid-table Wolves side on a fair run of form.
Wolves, currently ninth in the Premier League, are hungry for their first FA Cup semi-final appearance since 2019.
Coventry City, sitting comfortably in eighth place in the Championship, yearn to return to Wembley for the first time since their legendary 1987 FA Cup victory.
Coventry have beaten a host of lower-league sides including Maidstone, Oxford and Sheffield United en route to the semi-final and now find themselves potentially 90 minutes from a famous trip to Wembley.
Unfortunately for the romantics, this is likely to be the end of the road. Wolves have been on good form and will be eyeing up another trip to Wembley.
Manchester City to beat Newcastle @ 1.26
Manchester City are on a mission to defend their FA Cup title this year.
They’re currently sitting strong in the Premier League and have a history of success in the Cup, reaching the semis in the last five seasons and winning it twice during that period.
Newcastle, on the other hand, are looking to translate their decent league form into success in the FA Cup.
Recent meetings between these two sides have been exciting affairs.
Despite two narrow 1-0 wins for City in the last five encounters, the other three games have all been high-scoring, with two featuring over five goals.
With Manchester City on another run of top form, this is another trophy Pep will be eyeing up.
Chelsea to beat Leicester @ 1.42
Chelsea, still smarting from their League Cup final defeat, have a chance to redeem themselves with another Wembley trip.
Who is it standing in their way? The very team that denied them FA Cup glory in 2021: Leicester City.
The Blues are in an unfamiliar position, languishing in 11th place in the Premier League. However, they boast a strong FA Cup pedigree, reaching the final three times between 2019 and 2022 (although they fell short each time).
The Foxes are soaring at the top of the Championship, hungry for a return to the Premier League. But first, they have a chance to rewrite their FA Cup narrative.
While Leicester may be at the top of the Championship tree, Chelsea seem to be finding a bit of form and will be too much for the visiting side.
Liverpool to beat Manchester United @ 1.84
This FA Cup tie has all the makings of a classic encounter.
United, desperate to avoid another humiliating defeat against their rivals, will be fighting for their pride and their season.
Liverpool, fuelled by their relentless pursuit of trophies and a fitting send-off for Klopp, will be looking to continue their dominant run.
United started 2024 with a promising bang, winning six of their first seven games. However, they still remain some way off the top four and the FA Cup offers a more realistic lifeline and potential route back into Europe.
Liverpool, on the other hand, seem unstoppable. Despite injuries, they’ve already secured the EFL Cup and currently sit second in the Premier League table.
This season has the feel of a farewell tour for Jurgen Klopp, who is set to leave the club at the end of the year.
The desire to send their legendary manager off on a high is undoubtedly a motivating factor for the Reds. You can’t see past Liverpool in this one.
