F.A Cup Predictions

Hey, it has been a week of finals but don’t worry this isn’t to be my final blog.

Firstly, in the Tennis, where Nadal and Djokovic will meet in Sunday's final of the Australian open, the first grand slam of the year. The woman’s final is between Maria Sharavpova and Victoria Azarenka.

Also the Superbowl XLVI final is going to be between New England Patriots and New York Giants. The Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime 20-17, and the Ravens missed a last minute field goal allowing the Patriots to go through 20-23. This Superbowl will be Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s fifth Superbowl final! It should be interesting to watch and as I am English it is whether I can stay awake for it.

And the Carling cup finally has also been decided. The final will be between Cardiff City and Liverpool. Cardiff, who beat Crystal Palace on penalties, will be in their second final of recent years as they reached the F.A Cup final, only to lose to Portsmouth. Despite drawing at home to Manchester City, Liverpool made it through thanks to their first leg victory. This is the first time they will play at the ‘New’ Wembley and the first time they have reached Wembley since 1996. They won the F.A cup in 2006 but this was at Millennium Stadium. Cardiff should give Liverpool a tough game but I think that Liverpool will just about win.

Sticking to Cup competitions, these are my predictions for the F.A Cup Forth round:

Watford v Tottenham – Tottenham win
Everton v Fulham - Draw
QPR v Chelsea – Chelsea win
Liverpool v Man Utd – Manchester United win
Blackpool v Sheffield Wed - Draw
Bolton v Swansea – Bolton win
Derby v Stoke – Stoke win
Hull v Crawley Town - Draw
Leicester v Swindon – Leicester win
Millwall v Southampton – Millwall win
Sheffield Utd v Birmingham - Draw
Stevenage v Notts County – Stevenage win
West Brom v Norwich – West Brom win
Brighton v Newcastle – Newcastle win
Sunderland v Middlesbrough – Sunderland win  
Arsenal v Aston Villa – Arsenal win
