£5 FA Cup acca pays £199

The Seagulls take a break from chasing the Championship title to put a run together in the FA Cup. Brighton have lost just one of their last 10 league starts and meet an opponent who come in from the Non-League. Lincoln are top of the National League, but it’s all about levels, and Brighton should be too good at a very generous 3/4.

Middlesbrough beat Accrington

These sides have only met once before, on League Cup duty back in August 2013, and, surprisingly, Accrington were the winners on that occasion courtesy of a 2-1 away day. Impressive, but I don’t expect history to repeat itself here. Boro have struggled in the big league but they’ll enjoy a weekend off from their troubles. They have the players to get through at 4/11.

Blackburn beat Blackpool

The Seasiders are an easy side to oppose at the minute and enter this winless in their last four in League Two. Blackburn are no great shakes themselves but do ply their trade two levels above and were seen beating pre-season favourites Newcastle recently. At Ewood Park Coral’s 4/5 is massive.

Newcastle beat Oxford

The Magpies haven’t played Oxford since 1993, back in division one, but a lot has changed since then and even if Newcastle give a few of their regulars the afternoon off, they’re more than up to the job. Oxford may be playing Championship football next season, but they probably won’t, and their FA Cup dreams should die here at 3/4. That’s great value!

Arsenal beat Southampton

Lastly, The Gunners to beat Southampton. The Saints knocked Liverpool out of the League Cup in midweek, and will take some shifting here. It’s worth remembering that Claude Puel’s boys have lost four of their last five in the league, so we can’t get carried away. This may be Arsenal’s only hope of silverware this season. They are given a chance at 11/10, which seems worthwhile.
