FA CUP REPLAY BETTING TIPS

After an exciting weekend full of thrills, spills and Frank Lampard getting red carded, the FA Cup replays are upon us for the midweek action with some very interesting, albeit tricky, ties still to occur. The one that's on everybody's mind right now is the Everton vs Liverpool match. The Liverpool derby is always interesting and you really have to admire the way that Everton has been playing for the bulk of the season. While they may not have troubled United as much as many observers were expecting them to, you know that they always have Liverpool's number and I think they're going in for the kill this time. After Cahill and Fellaini passed late fitness tests, you knew things were about to get wild and while the two of them were effectively muzzled by Manchester United's defence, it will certainly be a different story when they face off against Liverpool. Burnley vs West Brom: It's not often you see Championship fodder listed well ahead of Premier League teams, but here you have it. I'm backing Burnley to win this one 1-0, which pays 13/2 with Paddy Power. Aston Villa vs Doncaster: Villa really had a blip against Doncaster and while I was raging because they blew my accumulator bet that day, I understand that they aren't always firing on all cylinders all the time. I'm backing Villa for a comprehensive 3-0 victory which pays 13/2 with Paddy Power. Nottingham Forest vs Derby: I have to say Forest 2-1 which pays 15/2 with Paddy Power. Blackburn vs Sunderland: Big Sam versus Big Rick. This one should be a solid match, and with Blackburn at home you have to fancy them a little bit. But I just find that the Black Cats are playing better quality football and are taking their chances better. This one will go into extra time, so back a 1-1 draw which pays 5/1 with Paddy Power. Everton vs Liverpool: Paddy is offering a money-back special on this where if Tim Cahill or Steve Gerrard score last, they'll refund all losing correct score predictions, scorecast singles and 1st/last goalscorer. I'm going to buck the trend here and back the Toffees. 2-1 to Everton pays 9/1 with Paddy Power.
