Crystal Palace v Tottenham
Sunday at 16:00 GMT
Tottenham travels to South London to play Crystal Palace in this FA Cup 1/16 final. Palace have been putting on good performances against the top teams so far this season and could cause Spurs some troubles.
After all, who will score the goals for Tottenham? Harry Kane is out, Heung-Min Son is on international duty and Dele Alli picked up a hamstring injury last weekend. With their three top scorers out, Spurs will have to look to Christian Eriksen, Fernando Llorente or even Harry Winks for goals.
That might very well be good enough, and although they are weakened Spurs should be able to squeeze out a victory. The last five games between the two teams have all ended in a 1-0 win to Spurs.
Our hot tip: Spurs to win
Betting odds at Betfair
- C. Palace win – 17/10
- X – 23/10
- Tottenham win – 17/10
Betting odds at William Hill
- C. Palace to win – 17/10

Rotherham v Leeds – England Championship
Saturday 15:00 GMT
Despite a poor run with three losses in their last 4 games Leeds and manager Marcelo Bielsa are still top of the table. Following Spygate, one might think that Leeds will be eager to prove their worth, but last weekend they lost away to Stoke. This weekend they play 21st place Rotherham, an opponent Leeds should get past with ease.
The home team is in terrible form, losing 4 out of their 5 latest games in the Championship. Leeds should be the better team and have won three straight against Rotherham. After this weekend this streak should be upped to four.
Our hot tip: Leeds to win
Betting odds at Betfair
- Rotherham to win – 9/2
- X – 11/4
- Leeds to win – 13/20
Betting odds at William Hill
- Rotherham to win- 24/5
- X – 14/5
- Leeds to win – 8/13

Accrington – Derby – FA Cup
Saturday at 13:30 CET
League One side Accrington Stanley welcome Derby to Crown Ground for this FA Cup 1/16 final. Frank Lampard has had a good spell at Derby so far, bringing the Rams to 6th place in the Championship after 28 games.
Accrington is currently at 14th place in League One after picking up only one point in the last 4 league games. The home team beat Ipswich 1-0 to get to this stage, but all in all Derby should be able to take care of the team from the league below.
Derby got past Southampton on penalties after 2-2 in both the 1st leg and the 2nd leg and have some very exciting players. Loanees Mason Mount (from Chelsea) and Harry Wilson (from Liverpool) provide a lot of creativity to Lampard’s team and could lead the way to the next round.
Betting odds at Betfair
- Accrington win – 15/4
- X – 13/5
- Derby win – 4/5
Betting odds at William Hill
- Accrington win – 16/5
- X – 13/5
- Derby win – 5/6
