20:00 Chelsea v Shamrock Rovers
Chelsea
50 WIN

Anything other than a home win here would be a massive shock as the favourites take on one of the smaller clubs in the competition. The gulf in resources is huge.

Such is the gulf in class that the hosts ought to be winning this with some ease. However, there will be many rotated from their usual line-ups, and they have conceded a few in this competition already. Shamrock have scored in all of their five played in this competition, as well as conceding in four.

Short price, but both sides have been scoring a fair share of goals recently. Spurs have failed to score in just one of their last seven, and Man Utd have failed to score in just one of their last nine, an away trip to Arsenal.

@1.55
Win

Southampton are in a real mess and lost their manager after getting hit for 5 before HT at the weekend. This competition won't be a priority now although it will be for the visitors who have a genuine chance of some sort of double this season.
19:45 Newcastle v Brentford
Newcastle
50 WIN
@1.50
Win
25
Brentford have a strong team but their away record is too poor to have any confidence in. They have lost 7 and drawn 1 away game in the league this season and no wins. This may be a cup game but those stats are not good for the visitors.

@1.65

Since late August, Brentford have taken part in only one match in all competitions which hasn't finished with both teams scoring. A 0-0 against Everton. Considering that stat, this looks a decent price for a goal for both.
Newcastle & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS

@2.75

Brentford's away form is poor, and they are still yet to win in the Premier League away from home this season. They are almost always good for a goal though, which makes this look the likeliest result.
19:30 Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Arsenal

Arsenal beat Palace 5-0 last time they played at the Emirates and although that was some time ago, Arsenal still seem to have a much stronger squad.

Not much of a price but this one has taken on some of the best flat stayers earlier this year and looked the business when easily winning a maiden without breaking sweat at the end of last month. Connections look to have found a strong possibility of a quick double.

Win

There tends to be a lot of goals when these two sides play, and Bournemouth have failed to keep a shutout in 13 of 15 matches played. West Ham usually score but are also vulnerable in defense, conceding 10 in their most recent 4 away matches.

Slight chance that the visitors get something. Away win is too big for a team with no away wins, but a draw might be worth a punt at these odds.

@5.00

Big price, but Man Utd beat an in-form Man City at Wembley back in May. The sides look much closer matched now, and with City's poor recent form, this could go the way of the visitors at a good price.

Blackburn are the form team of the league having won all of their last four. Luton are still struggling at the bottom end of the league and this will be tough for them too.

Hard to back against the leaders, especially when they are at home. Fulham are decent and held Arsenal last week, but this will be a harder challenge away from home.

Hard to see this going any other way considering the league positions of both sides. Sheffield have won six of their last eight, drawing the other two. Plymouth have won just once in their last eight.

Sunderland have lost just one of their last eight now and although they tend to draw a lot of games, they might have the edge over Swansea here who have conceded six in their last two home matches.

Both teams have gotten new managers recently, and Hull have improved their performance of late despite still being bottom. They look a bit overpriced here against a Coventry side who have just one win in seven now.

Sheffield can retake top spot with a win here and their away form is sound. They've won 2 and drawn 2 of their last 4 away games scoring twice in each of those. Millwall have some decent home form too but were beaten at home last time by Coventry. This will be a tough test too.

Both teams are very capable of scoring in this tie but Madrid have conceded just one in their last four. Prior to that they let four in in one match at home to Barca. They seem to have addressed that fragility now though and it may be tough for Girona to break them down. Madrid have conceded just 5 in 8 away games - the second best defensive total in the league so far.

Leeds are very strong at home but not unbeatable. They do seem to suffer from a lack of plan B when things aren't going for them too.
