On Friday night, Premier League teams Aston Villa and West Ham United meet in a tasty third-round tie at Villa Park. The Hammers start life without Julen Lopetegui after his midweek sacking.
Villa are tough to beat on home soil, with just Arsenal and Crystal Palace winning on their patch this term. Under Lopetegui, West Ham picked up only three away wins.
Aston Villa are in fine fettle, winning five of their last eight in all competitions. We can see Unai Emery’s men claiming a cup win on Friday (1.67).

Premier League leaders Liverpool welcome EFL League Two outfit Accrington Stanley to Anfield on Saturday. After losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup in midweek, the Reds will be out for blood.
The defeat at Spurs was just Liverpool’s second reverse under Arne Slot. The Merseyside giants are having an incredible season, as they sit top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League tables.
This will be the first meeting since they clashed at the same stage of the same competition way back in 1956. Liverpool beat Accrington 2-0 on that occasion, and you can get 1.54 for the home side to win to nil again.

Old rivals Arsenal and Man United do battle in the standout FA Cup game. The Gunners lost at home to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup last time out, while United battled to a Premier League draw at Liverpool.
The midweek loss to the Magpies was Arsenal’s first home defeat in any competition this season. They are often a formidable force in front of their own fans, and Mikel Arteta’s men will back themselves to get back to winning ways at the weekend.
It is rarely a dull affair when these rivals share the pitch, and we expect fireworks in this mouth-watering FA Cup clash. United will play their part, but our money is going on the Arsenal win at 1.66.
