In the meantime, Derby have a cup run to focus on. Following an uneventful 1-0 over Southport in the third round, the Rams dispatched Chesterfield with a more convincing 2-0 margin. Next up, Reading in the fifth round.

Comparatively, Reading are lower down in the Championship table than Derby. Having been relatively patchy at times, Reading’s form has improved to push them closer to the middle of the table. Even still, this game will be tough.

The reason why you should consider backing this Championship matchup in the FA Cup’s fifth round is that Derby have favourable odds in a number of markets, even to win outright.

Expectations

Reading is the team to start with in presenting the expectations. Based on away form, Reading have been very poor, whereas at home they have been much better. In fact, Reading concede an average of approximately two goals for every game they play away.

Conceding heavily away is not likely to breed success against a Derby team with one of the Championship’s highest goal scorers in Chris Martin, who has netted 16 league goals. Provided that the Derby midfield can create a few chances, goals are likely to come for the Rams.

Match Tips

Tip one: Derby to win, best odds 1.67
Tip two: Derby to win to nil, best odds 2.75

Some sites are willing to offer in the region of 1.60 on a Derby win, which is surprising because of how likely the Rams are to emerge victorious in 90 minutes. Don’t forget that Reading are very poor away from home, often conceding heavily, which will clearly work to Derby’s favour.

To enhance your Derby win, add on that they will win to nil. Going for over/under goals is a risk, as Derby could sit back if they go 2-0 up against Reading. In general, cup games don’t have as many goals as league encounters, so adding on win to nil makes sense here.

Man United favoured a lot better at the weekend, comfortably beating Leicester 3-1 at Old Trafford and doing their best to exorcise the demons of the embarrassing 5-3 defeat earlier in the season. Next up, the Reds have a chance to improve on their mediocre away form.

However, it won’t be easy, as West Ham have won seven from 12 games at home – that’s sixth in the league based on home form. Comparatively, Man Utd are seventh in the league on away form. Out of 11 games, they have drawn six and won only three. Louis van Gaal will need to display better away form to clinch a Champions League spot.

Expectations

West Ham are going to play better than against Liverpool because they will be back at Upton Park, but will it be enough? Manager Sam Allardyce will be concerned because that four of his defenders are struggling with minor injuries, and that could prove fatal against Man United’s extravagant attackers.

Additionally, Diafra Sakho could also miss out with a suspension for leaving the Africa Cup of Nations early and playing for West Ham in the FA Cup. Should Sakho and Andy Carroll be unable to play, United’s defence will feel a lot more comfortable about this Sunday encounter.

Louis van Gaal finally relented and lined up with a four-man defence. Consequently, the team looked much better than with three at the back and were able to link up well. And while the Reds weren’t at their best, they should feel more comfortable against West Ham.

Match Tips

Tip one: Under 2.5 goals, best odds 1.94
Tip two: Man United and 2.5 goals, best odds 3.80

West Ham have only conceded 10 goals in 12 home games, so backing under 2.5 goals makes sense. Adding a Man United win will improve the odds.

Blues Boss, Jose Mourinho, will be hoping the travelling supporters of Chelsea (unlike the near silent ones he provocatively referred to last week, suggesting Stamford Bridge was the quietest home support in the League, to the admiration and annoyance of fans alike) can roar his side on to a second consecutive victory at Anfield, after this April’s famous 2-0 which ended Liverpool’s title hopes, and featured the now infamous Gerrard slip and mistake which gifted Chelsea the opening goal of the match, something I’m sure the travelling away contingent will be reminding the Liverpool Captain of throughout the 90 minutes.

With the goal vacuum that has been left by Luis Suarez’s departure and the prolonged absence of Daniel Sturridge, Liverpool’s confidence in front of goal has been severely lacking in this campaign and their ability to create chances through fast, attacking play seems to have diminished.

Chelsea, however, are looking unstoppable at the summit of the table with the sparkling attacking talents of Eden Hazard and the deadly finishing power of Diego Costa.

The Mighty Reds have only won once in their last five matches so they’ll have to seriously raise their game to cope with a Chelsea outfit who have found the net 13 times on their travels this season and who also boast the most sturdy and settled defence and goalkeeper in the Premier League.

This game will be won and lost in the midfield battle, and my money would be on the vibrant and incisive talents of Matic, Fabregas and Oscar to come out on top over the ageing Gerrard and the more limited abilities of Henderson and Lucas.

Back Chelsea to win this one with a medium stake at 2.2 Euro odds or 6/5 UK.

A fifth placed finish last term means Europa League football for the Toffees this year and has their success hungry supporters dreaming of going one League place further come the end of May.

The arrival of £28m striker Romelu Lukaku is a major reason for the burgeoning optimism; his first two full seasons in England have reaped 32 goals, making him the 4^th highest scorer in the Premier League over that period. Many doubted Everton’s ability to hold on to their three loan signings last year, Gerard Deulofeu may have gone back to Barcelona to fight for a squad number, but Gareth Barry has now put pen to paper permanently on a three year deal, and Lukaku is Everton’s record transfer fee, £13m more than they paid Standard Liege for Marouane Fellaini.

Martinez’s positive charm and insistence on attractive, forward thinking football, has managed to convince the Champions League chasing Lukaku that Goodison Park is the best place to continue his development and gain regular playing time, with both sides potentially set to benefit from Martinez’s belief in the progress of English football’s 4^th most successful club.

Another significant addition (to a squad that will need at least 27 first teamer’s in order to not suffer the perils of Europa League fatigue) is the 21 year old Bosnia & Herzegovina midfielder, Muhamed Besic. The £4m fee paid to Ferencvaros could turn out to be one of the bargains of the summer; the Bosnian had a 98% pass accuracy for his club side last season and can play at centre-back or in his more favoured midfield anchor role. A cultured passer, who seems older than his birth certificate suggests, could teach the sometimes wasteful but equally talented Ross Barkley about the importance of not conceding possession in central area’s.

A midfield trio of Besic, James McCarthy and Barkley could well blossom into one of the best engine room’s the Merseysiders have seen since the holy trinity of Goodison legends Kendall, Harvey and Ball. Barry and McCarthy should begin the season as the starting pair in a defensive midfield role, but Besic will undoubtedly be the long term replacement for the 33 year old Englishman. For now, continuity is what’s important for Everton, and this has been strengthened off the pitch too with a number of important contract extensions for key players.

Leighton Baines committed his future to The Blues last year, but this pre-season has seen Barkley sign for 4 years, followed by a 5 year deal for Seamus Coleman, and a 5 year extension for Martinez himself. At the back, 20 year old England defender, John Stones, has agreed a new 5 year extension to give Evertonian’s real hope for a bright, exciting future.

Stones’ form in his 15 starting appearances for The Toffees last term displayed colossal composure, and suggested that within a few years he could be a mainstay in central defence for his country.

The Barnsley born defender is a naturally instinctive blocker of shots whose defensive positioning is already world class. In his 21 games (6 as a substitute) for Everton he won 26 tackles and made 19 successful interceptions, while also blocking 19 shots on goal and making an astonishing 87 clearances.

With goalkeeper Tim Howard coming into the form of his life at 35, the goals and creativity of full backs Baines and Coleman, a consistent first XI developing under Martinez’s second full season could well see Everton sneak into the Champions League positions, especially with the fire-power of an already settled in Lukaku.

Brendan Rodgers has tried to plug that gap (2^nd placed Liverpool conceded 23 more than 3^rd placed Chelsea) with the acquisition of Croatian central defender, Dejan Lovren. The ex-Southampton star was Saint’s player of the season last year with consistently excellent performances over his 31 Premier League appearances. The 61 successful tackles, 84 interceptions and 239 clearances are an indication of the Croat’s tenaciousness in defence, but the revealing stat of just 26 fouls committed (less than 1 per game, in fact 0.8) shows a player with a great reading of the game, something which centre-backs at the highest level must possess.

The Might Red’s 101 goals at the other end of the pitch was only 1 behind Champions, Manchester City, but the problem for Rodgers in this campaign is how to replace the 31 League goals that the now departed Luis Suarez scored for the Anfield club. Daniel Sturridge will have to push his PL goals tally to over 25 for the first time in his career if Liverpool are to mount another serious challenge for the title. Liverpool’s raid on the now decimated Southampton squad also included England stars Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana. The former will provide back-up to Sturridge and could easily weigh in with 15 goals, while the latter has been brought in for his assists and goals from midfield (6 & 9 last season) and to deepen Liverpool’s squad should there be any injuries to Raheem Sterling or Phillipe Coutinho.

Captain, Steven Gerrard, must put his World Cup woes and “slip-ups” behind him if he is to repeat his outstanding campaign (13 goals & 13 assists) last term from the base of midfield. The motivation and desire is strong for Gerrard to produce another swansong-like season and help Liverpool claim their first title since 1990. Lucas and Jordan Henderson are the energy of the midfield three, while 19 year old Sterling is likely to improve further on his 9 goals from wide and second striker positions, in what is only his second full season. Other exciting youngsters at Rodgers’ disposal are the summer signings of Serbian winger Lazar Markovic and German wide-man Emre Can, both 20 years old.

The £75m received for the troublesome Suarez appears to have been spent wisely, but whether these new recruits can replace the 31 goals & 12 assists that the Uruguayan striker provided, only time will tell.
