Saturday accumulator for the FA Cup

By now, you should have your bookmakers sorted and your free bets in hand. But how can you put them to good use? The below accumulator pays over 14-1 if it comes good.

West Brom are in fine fettle and even if they make some changes they should still be too good for Chesterfield. Since their change of manager they've been making a charge towards the Championship play-off places and will want to keep up that momentum.

Brentford are one of the form teams in the Premier League and face out-of-sorts West Ham in an all-Premier League tie. This battle offers good value on the Bees to continue their strong performances, especially at home.

Luton have made a fine start under Rob Edwards and in front of an expectant Kenilworth Road should have too much for a Wigan side who have lost their last four, shipping 14 goals.

Millwall are synonymous with the FA Cup and we're backing them to see off fellow Championship team Sheffield United. Always a tough visit to the Den, the Blades will likely have their eyes fixed on the title and gaining promotion to the Premier League so may be there for the taking.
