More on the FA Cup Fourth Round Saturday
The fourth round of the FA Cup begins with Everton v Chelsea on Saturday, but there are plenty of other matches with good value as well.
Manchester United will be taking on Southampton later in the day. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side will be without defender Rafael but will be looking to keep their trophy treble hopes alive. Rafael suffered a concussion in Manchester United’s come-from-behind win over Blackpool on Tuesday and it was an easy decision for Ferguson to sit him for this fixture.
Manchester United are leading the Premiership and knockout stages of the Champions League. They are in good position to win multiple titles this campaign and face League One’s fourth-placed side at St. Mary’s stadium.
In the third all-Premier League match on Saturday, Bolton Wanderers host Wigan Athletic. The Wanderers will be looking to bounce back from a big Chelsea loss on Monday. Aston Villa host Blackburn Rovers. Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last four matches overall and have some momentum going into this one.
The other fourth-round matches include Swansea City v Leyton Orient, Torquay United v Crawley Town, Watford v Brighton & Hove Albion, Birmingham City v Coventry City, Stovenage v Reading, and Sheffield Wednesday v Hereford United.
