FA Cup Odds: Bristol City vs. Man City prediction, pick, how to watch ... (ClutchPoints)

The Robins and the Blues will battle it out! Catch our FA Cup odds series with a Bristol City-Man City prediction and pick prepared for you.

Bristol will have to be firing in all cylinders to pull an upset against the Premier League champions. Haaland will likely give way of his slot to Julian Alvarez, who will be joined by Foden and Riyad Mahrez in the wings. Wells and Scott will be joined by Sam Bell and Mark Sykes in the front. The Robins are in the midst of a magnificent football display but they are still in a mediocre placement in the Championship. City has ridiculous stats in the Premier League, making 16.8 total shots, 6.5 corners, 7.9 successful dribbles, and 2.6 goals per game, thanks to a dominant 64.7% ball possession which also resulted in eight clean sheets. Manchester City is one of the favorite teams to win this FA Cup trophy. Antoine Semenyo and Tommy Conway are second in the team for goal contributions with nine. The Blues will be seeking to continue their five-game unbeaten streak in all tourneys. Pep Guardiola’s squad has won twice and drew two times in their last five away matches in all competitions. The Cider Army has acquired wins in the FA Cup over West Brom and Swansea. The Robins are in a 12-game undefeated run. Join us as we continue our FA Cup odds [series](https://clutchpoints.com/betting), where we make our Bristol City-Man City prediction and pick while showing you how to watch.

FA Cup Odds: Fulham vs. Leeds prediction, pick, how to watch – 2 ... (ClutchPoints)

The Cottagers and the Whites face off in the FA Cup! Head on to our FA Cup odds series with a Fulham-Leeds prediction and pick.

For Leeds, Stuart Dallas, Rodrigo, and Adam Forshaw are reported in the injury list. Leeds currently sits in 17th place of the English Premier League and are again candidates for relegation to England’s Championship League. While Leeds will surely push the hosts to play well, Fulham’s hot form as of late is still blazing. Despite their short and still active run in the FA Cup, Fulham is no slouch in the Prem either. Several teams have shared spots in the relegation zone, but for now, Everton, Bournemouth, and Southampton occupy the bottom three. Rodrigo has 10 goals in the Prem while Jack Harrison has five assists. Fulham’s injury report lists Neeskens Kebano and Tom Cairney as the absentees in this game. Crysencio Summerville has five goal contributions in top flight. Aleksandar Mitrovic leads the squad in the Prem with 11 goals while Andreas Pereira leads in assists with six. Here in the FA Cup, Fulham was victorious against Sunderland and Hull City. Fulham also owns the eight-best home record in the Prem, garnering 22 points from 13 matches. Marco Silva’s men have been phenomenal in the Prem since their promotion from the Championship.

“It’ll be 2-1 to BCFC, with the winner in the 94th minute, while the Mancunians are preoccupied with booking limos to their Gulfstreams at Lulsgate is my prediction.” We’ll be off in a couple of minutes. It’s a cute run, and though he’s crowded out, the ball twangs out of play for a corner on the left.

O’Leary comes to the edge of his area to claim. O’Leary is beaten, buy Kalas heads off the line at the expense of a corner. 33 min: De Bruyne cuts in from the left and blooters a wild effort high and wide from distance. De Bruyne takes too long over what to do next, and the momentum of the attack is jiggered. 35 min: Kalas strips a snoozing De Bruyne in the centre circle and sets Bell off down the left. De Bruyne enters the box and flashes a shot over the bar. Dias attempts to sweep home from ten yards, only for Pring to throw himself in the road and take the sting out of the shot.

Minute-by-minute report: Join Daniel Gallan for updates from the fifth-round tie at Craven Cottage.

74 mins: Leeds try to play the ball out from a goalkick but Pereira is quickly on to it and wins the ball back inside Leeds’ box. “This is the first time I’ve looked forward to a second half of a Leeds game since the Chelsea game back in August. Brighton are such good fun for the neutral this season, it must be brilliant to be a fan.” He picks up the piefes of a long cross and plays a swift one-two with Mitrovic and he cuts across the goal. He’s picked out by a neat through ball from Rutter (formerly referred to as Georginio) but the shot lacks power to drill past the ‘keeper. Hard to pick which is the better of the two. 76 mins: Leeds finally string a few passes together and it makes its way to Harrison on the left. Leeds might have had a penalty for a high kick inside the box. It all started with a break down the left. He puts in a ball at the near post but Koch can’t keep his effort down. Harrison is having a great spell down the left. 81 mins: That’s a chance for Koch at the near post.

Shaw four-timer sends City into Women's FA Cup quarter-finals (caribbeannationalweekly.com)

Red-hot Reggae Girl Khadija “Bunny” Shaw scored four goals as Manchester City advanced to the last eight of the English Women's FA Cup.

“I try to help the team as much as I can and they’re putting the ball in the box and I just try to put it in the back of the net and scoring.” Gareth Taylor’s side were well on top approaching the interval and Shaw’s superb form in front of goal continued as she bagged her third of the afternoon four minutes before the break. Julie Blakstad (two) and Filippa Angeldahl were also on the scoresheet as the visitors secured passage into the next round and a great afternoon was rounded off as Shaw turned provider for Jemima Dahou, who scored her first senior goal for the club in the closing stages.

Man City looked poor at Bristol, but FA Cup is theirs to win (ESPN)

Yes, Man City looked unconvincing in their FA Cup fifth-round win at Bristol. They might still win the trophy anyway.

Then they visit Crystal Palace the following week in league play on Saturday, March 11. Manchester City: The Citizens host Newcastle United in Premier League action on Saturday, March 4 at 7:30 a.m. This is Manchester City's fifth straight appearance in the FA Cup quarterfinals. Man City's defenders won't forget the Bristol City forward in a hurry. But now he's back for the best bit of the season." [Phil Foden](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/250787/Phil-Foden), who rarely starts these days, scored twice to make a point to Guardiola, while [Kalvin Phillips](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223453/Kalvin-Phillips) and [Julian Alvarez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/277206/julian-alvarez) were also given their chance to impress. I love to play football and when I don't I am a bit frustrated." With City still pushing for success on three fronts, Guardiola will need De Bruyne back to his best when the decisive games come around in April and May. When the top clubs scout players, one of the biggest attributes any young player must have is the readiness to be bold enough to go forward rather than play it safe by passing backwards or sideways and Scott always looked forward. But after over a decade at the top with Wolfsburg and City, De Bruyne simply looks exhausted. His goal in the 81st minute of this win was classic De Bruyne, but it shouldn't mask his otherwise average performance. And it would be ironic if, after so many years of being levels above the rest, they finally win the Champions League while not being so formidable this time around.

Fulham's magnificent season continues under Marco Silva with the Cottagers still chasing a European qualification spot on two fronts.

Manchester City into FA Cup quarter-finals as Foden bares teeth in ... (The Guardian)

Manchester City brushed aside their Championship opponents, winning 3-0 thanks to a Phil Foden double and a late strike from Kevin De Bruyne.

Phillips rattled the crossbar with 63 seconds on the clock with a shot from outside the box and although the hosts then settled Manchester City took the lead on seven minutes. The longer the hosts stayed in the game, the more they grew in belief. Guardiola’s opposition scout advised him to expect an awkward evening and the Spaniard finished his homework on the Championship side poring over some clips on the flight south to Bristol on Tuesday. It did not stop Pearson and Guardiola, who were in deep in discussion at full time, chewing the fat over a glass of wine. The sight of De Bruyne and Rico Lewis booting the ball clear amid second-half pressure told part of the story. Scott was one of five academy graduates to start and two more arrived from the bench.

Foden stars as Man City advances in FA Cup; Leicester upset (USA TODAY)

Phil Foden was in danger of becoming one of the forgotten players at Manchester City this season but maybe not anymore.

In the second half, there were five U.S. Leicester can now focus all its attention on staying in the Premier League. Brighton advanced to the quarterfinals for the fifth time in its history and the first time since the 2018-19 season, when the team lost to Man City in the semifinals. City has reached at least the semifinals in five of the last six seasons. Foden scored in each half in City's 3-0 win at second-tier Bristol City in the FA Cup on Tuesday, helping the team secure a place in the quarterfinals. De Bruyne curled in City's best goal of the game in the 81st from outside the area.

Where does Leeds United's excitement come from now they're out of ... (The Athletic)

Modern football decrees that the league is king but there is something uniquely tingling about a cup run coming over the horizon.

You get [Cardiff](https://theathletic.com/football/team/cardiff-city/), you get Accrington Stanley and then, last night, you have [Fulham](https://theathletic.com/football/team/fulham/) away for a place in the quarter-finals.

By the time McKennie’s shot was blocked by [Patrick Bamford](https://theathletic.com/football/player/patrick-bamford-czY2QtojCov58GYm/) in the closing minutes, the rebound flying wide off the American’s shin from a distance of a few yards, it was evident Leeds’ luck was out and, evidently, it was not their night. He had Leeds to lift the FA Cup at 40/1. It might have been that finishing 11th with [Watford](https://theathletic.com/football/team/watford/) in 2019 mattered more to Gracia but the FA Cup, as he said, is where everyone can live a little. It is not a doddle but it is not asking the earth either.

For Gracia, reaching the FA Cup final began with a win at Woking and him trading a bottle of Sangria for a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale with Woking’s manager, Alan Dowson. He was on the fence, Elland Road was electric, Leeds were in the quarter-finals and a cup run took hold without anyone truly seeing it coming. The interest was such that the Yorkshire Evening Post captured photographs of people with no tickets sitting on the roof of a nearby building. They were Division Two play-off finalists and semi-finalists in the FA Cup, a club on a roll.

Manchester United look to keep their quadruple hopes alive as they take on West Ham in the FA Cup Round of 16, as one of just three Big Six clubs remaining ...

By expected points, West Ham should be ninth in the Premier League table. Take him to make his mark in front of net instead, despite the somewhat less appetizing value. West Ham are a very difficult team to figure out this season. Garnacho's total of 0.36 expected goals (xG) per 90 minutes this season maybe doesn't sound like much, but when compared to Rashford's mark of 0.45, it looks a lot more dangerous. Man United have won four of those five games. It isn't a shock to see multiple players rested in this competition. West Ham received a blow that Lukasz Fabianski will be out for a significant time with fractures to his cheekbone and orbital bone, meaning Alphonse Areola is the new starting goalkeeper for the foreseeable future. Instead, they're just slightly capped at about 2/3 moneyline odds, while West Ham are 4/1 underdogs to win outright in 90 minutes of regulation. [fresh off hoisting the Carabao Cup trophy](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/man-united-vs-newcastle-score-updates-highlights-carabao-cup-final/nfz0eauviciyd5f6ycfr92i0) to end a six-year silverware drought, are still in the hunt for all remaining titles in which they began the year competing. West Ham are in the midst of a relegation battle and David Moyes will be wary of his squad sustaining any injuries.

West Ham United: Kurt Zouma has returned back to training but the defense will take a hit without Lukasz Fabianski in net. If they're able to keep that up, this will be a simple advancement to the next round of the FA Cup. They'll need more where that came from to defeat United but a strong showing in this match can give David Moyes' side confidence to get away from the relegation zone. Marcus Rashford was suffering from fitness issues before the EFL Cup final before ultimately being able to go, but with so many matches, is this one that he starts from the bench? Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are long term absentees while Anthony Martial will be back in the fold soon.

The Red Devils, who recently won the EFL Carabao Cup against Newcastle United, will try to stay in contention to find the other silverware in the Premier League ...

Despite their poor run in the Prem, West Ham is still in contention for the UEFA Europa Conference League. West Ham is just 16th in the Prem but 12th-placed Crystal Palace has just a four-point advantage over them. In the Prem, West Ham has just got one win and three draws in 12 away games. This match will serve as West Ham’s third challenge in the FA Cup. West Ham has been in and out of the relegation zone, but they now currently enjoy a two-point buffer over the bottom three teams. Antony and Rashford were on the scoresheet in the game versus Everton, in addition to a Conor Coady own goal. West Ham last lifted the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999 and an additional trophy after 24 years will be relished by the London squad. Aside from their Carabao Cup victory, Man U got a 2-1 win in the Europa League knock-outs to eliminate Spanish giants FC Barcelona. Second-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton will overtake David De Gea in the post between the goal sticks. For Man U’s first game this March and a coveted silverware on the line, Erik Ten Hag will try to survive this one without some familiar faces in his rotation.

Sabitzer forces a fine save out of Areola after being teed up at the top of the box by Weghorst. The Hammers have won the FA Cup three times before with their last triumph dating back to 1980. 12th min: Some neat play in midfield from Sabitzer and McTominay sees Garnacho picked out in space on the left. West Ham's best chance of the game so far sees Antonio break clear on goal but he arguably takes too long to take his shot as De Gea makes a commanding save after cutting down the striker's angle. West Ham asking plenty of questions in attack when they get a chance. The shot flies over the crossbar but feels like only a matter of time before he tests Areola. It was an awkward one for the United keeper who has to dive low to his right. 85th min: West Ham up against it here as the Red Devils win corners in quick succession. [54th min: GOAL!] West Ham open the scoring through Benrahma. With extra time looming, United youngster Alejandro Garnacho stepped up in the 90th minute as he curled home a brilliant effort worthy of winning any match. West Ham would also strike next but this time at the wrong end as a Bruno Fernandes corner was accidentally nodded home by Nayef Aguerd. West Ham proved worthy midweek opposition but United's substitutes made all the difference late on as they finished much stronger.

Manchester United v West Ham: FA Cup fifth round – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: The League Cup winners are chasing more silverware as the Hammers visit. Join Barry Glendenning.

44 min: Referee Michael Salisbury accidentally gets in the way of a West Ham attack, prompting an uncontested drop ball for the visitors and a protest from Tomas Soucek, who doesn’t appear to know this particular law. Played in behind the United defence by Said Benrahma, he trundles forward in a one-on-omne with David De Gea and leaves it too late too shoot. Michail Antonio missed the pick of them, messing up a one-on-one against David De Gea, while Pablo Fornals might also have scored with a tap-in had he shown more of a striker’s instinct to pre-empt a cross from Said Benrahma. The Dutchman’s first touch lets him down and takes away from goal and a good chance goes to waste. 49 min: Casemiro pings the ball towards the corner flag for Fredc to chase. Soucek doesn’t and plays the ball inside to Berahma, who advances and fires a diagonal effort past David De Gea into the top corner. Under pressure from Nayef Aguerd, Fernandes swings a foot at the dropping ball but is unabvle to make contact. 62 min: Michail Anotnio takes on and beats Lisandro Martinez down the inside left, canters forweard and shoots at David De Gea from a narrow angle when he had two an option to his right in Said Benrahma. If they didn’t have one, the referee has to let the goal stand and it’s no more than West Ham deserve. 81 min: Alejandro Garnacho goes to ground in the West Ham penalty area as he cuts in from the left, apparently shovedd by Ben Johnson. Tomas Soucek does well to keep the ball in play out by the left touchline. Emerson’s delivery is half-cleared but West Ham win a throw-in deep in United territory.
