The Blues shouldn’t have any problems against Hull City on Friday evening as 2/11 favourites.

Arsenal and Liverpool are already out of the competition. If they get a favourable draw in the next round, it could open up for them.

Leicester could be the dark horse

Leicester City have beaten Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur this season. They’ve also held Manchester City (before penalties), Manchester United and Chelsea to draws.

They’ve arguably been the best side outside the top six since Claude Puel took charge. And unlike the top sides, Leicester can make the FA Cup their main focus. They won’t go down and aren’t going to finish in the top four.

The Foxes are 8/15 to beat Sheffield United and make it into the sixth round. If they get there, and bring Riyad Mahrez back into the fold, they’ll pose a real test for anyone.

Puel’s side are currently 12/1 to win the competition. But Leicester have famously defied the odds before.

Cup tie could be a distraction for West Brom and Southampton

A cup run can be a welcome respite from the grind of the league campaign. But both West Bromwich Albion and Southampton have bigger concerns at the minute.

West Brom are bottom of the table, with only one win in 13 since Alan Pardew replaced Tony Pulis. Southampton are 18th and a point away from safety.

Both sides are likely to make changes to keep their players fresh for the crucial league games ahead. Southampton are 33/20 favourites, with West Brom at 9/5.
