Gunners can come unstuck against the Toffees

ARSENAL V EVERTON Saturday 8th March, 12:45, ITV1

The Gunners are 17/20 (BETVICTOR) to see off Everton and book their place in the FA Cup Semi Final. Arsenal will take heart from the fact that they are unbeaten in their last 19 home games in all competitions against the Merseysiders. The Toffees have drawn on their last two visits though and I think they have enough about them at a good price to suggest that they are capable of at least getting a draw from this tie. Martinez won the FA Cup last season while boss of Wigan. Wenger and his side meanwhile are hunting a first trophy since 2005. The pressure is on the home side and I think the visitors should be backed to make the next round.
RECOMMENDATION: Everton to make the semi-finals, 15/8 (ladbrokes)

SHEFF UTD V CHARLTON Sunday 9th March, 12:00, BT SPORT 1

When is an FA Cup quarter final a disappointment? When the opponents could have been your hated local rivals. As it is Sheffield United will be taking on Charlton rather than Wednesday for a place in the last four. The Blades have won each of their last seven and might be a popular bet at 13/10 (ladbrokes) for victory. That being said the Addicks are in a league higher than their opponents on Sunday and that has to be respected. The London side are a little over-priced at 13/5 (SPREADEX) and 12/5 (GENERAL) the draw.

A better bet for me then is to take the Addicks to qualify for the next round which allows for a replay and is available at evens (GENERAL). The London side have won two of their last three with that one defeat coming to high-flying Leicester.
RECOMMENDATION: Charlton to make the semi-finals, evens (GENERAL)

HULL V SUNDERLAND Sunday 9th March, 14:00, ITV 1

The Black Cats must pick themselves up after a Wembley heartache last weekend and go again for another chance to get to London. To book themselves another day out they first have to see off a Tigers side who have already beaten them twice this season and are the 23/20 (GENERAL) favourites for the game. The problem with backing Hull at this price is that key strike duo Jelavic and Long are missing from the tie because they are cup-tied. Sunderland are 11/4 (BETVICTOR) for victory while the draw is a 12/5 (GENERAL) chance.

A better bet on this game is to take both teams to score as neither side will be keen on a replay and come to attack. This also would have paid in three of the last four Hull home games.
RECOMMENDATION: YES in both teams to score, 11/10 (CORAL/betfair)

MAN CITY V WIGAN Sunday 9th March, 16:05, BT SPORT 1

The final last eight game is a repeat of the final last year between Man City and Wigan. Bookmakers make City 1/6 (GENERAL) favourites for the game as they have remarkable home form and will be keen to add to their League Cup success.

I think the Latics could be dangerous opponents and I like them on the Asian Handicap with a 2 goals start at 11/10 (paddy Power). This will refund money if Wigan lose by two and pay out if they lose by just one or even draw or get a shock victory. The Latics are going well under Uwe Rosler and have won seven of their last nine and each of their last five. City meanwhile will have the distractions of the Champions League in midweek. The Blue half of Manchester meanwhile have won just one of their last eight by more than two goals
RECOMMENDATION: Wigan +2.0 on Asian Handicap v Man City, 11/10 (paddy Power)
