The key storylines from Tuesday’s FA Cup replays

Neil Warnock’s Bluebirds should qualify for the fourth round at 1/2 but may be forced to play extra time at 9/4. Mansfield are 27/10 to win inside 90 minutes.

First win for Jos Luhukay?

Friday’s derby against Sheffield United was a tough first game in charge for new Sheffield Wednesday manager Jos Luhukay. The Dutchman’s influence on the Owls is already clear, after they produced a resolute and disciplined performance at Bramall Lane.

Against Carlisle United, Luhukay should record his victory as boss. The Cumbrians have won just twice away from home since September, while Wednesday have won six of their last nine FA Cup matches at Hillsborough.

The Yorkshire side are 8/15 to win the match and 8/5 to Win to Nil. Atdhe Nuhiu makes appeal in the Anytime Scorer market, also at 8/5.

Can Shrewsbury put the Hammers to the sword?

West Ham have Joe Hart to thank for salvaging a replay against Shrewsbury. The on-loan Manchester City stopper was forced into a number of top-class saves to deny a shock Shrews victory at the New Meadow.

At the London Stadium, it should be another tight contest. Ten of the Hammers’ last 13 domestic cup ties at home have either been drawn or settled by a single goal.

With David Moyes set to rotate his squad once again, the match could pan out in a similar fashion to the initial tie. West Ham and Under 2.5 Goals is priced at 9/4, while Draw/West Ham could also prove favourable in the Half Time/Full Time market at 3/1.

Reading ripe for an upset

Reading’s form is woeful. The Royals are winless in eight matches and have won just twice at home since late-August. Stevenage, buoyed by a last minute equaliser away at Morecambe on Saturday, will fancy their chances of an upset at the Madejski Stadium.

Darren Sarll’s side are unbeaten in three but will need to overcome a dismal away record of 10 matches without victory. The ‘Borough’ have form for upsets in the cup, though. And they’ll smell blood against a Reading siding fighting relegation at the foot of the Championship.

The visitors are a tempting 5/2 to qualify and 11/2 to win inside 90 minutes. In what should be a tight game, Both Teams to Score – No, should also come in at 10/11.
