We’ve 8 teams remaining in the FA Cup with the Sixth Round (Qtr-finals) games being played over the weekend of Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th March – with two games over both days.

We get going with Swansea welcoming Tottenham to the Liberty Stadium. This season Spurs have already taken 4 points off the Swans in the league, while the Londoners are actually unbeaten in their last 15 against Swansea.

Next up is Manchester United hosting Brighton at Old Trafford in what’s actually a repeat of the 1983 final! Brighton have never beaten Man Utd away (11 games).

Onto Sunday and Wigan, who dumped the favourites – Man City – out in the last round are rewarded with a home against Southampton, while we conclude with Chelsea travelling to Leicester. The Blues have played the Foxes 7 times in the FA Cup and never lost!

We’ve got all the games covered from a head-to-head angle, plus our best betting option on each match based on the stats.
