Huddersfield v Manchester City3pm Saturday

Championship high-flyers Huddersfield are on a six-game winning run but their bubble looks set to burst against Manchester City.

The Terriers carry a potent attacking threat but remain vulnerable defensively.

The Citizens have won four in a row and emphatic wins at West Ham (5-0) and Crystal Palace (3-0) in their opening two FA Cup clashes suggest they should outscore the hosts.

Recommendation
Man City to win & over 2.5 goals

Key stat
Man City have notched 14 goals in their last five away matches


Middlesbrough v Oxford3pm Saturday

Goal-shy Middlesbrough scraped past League Two strugglers Accrington Stanley 1-0 in the fourth round and their assured defending should be enough to topple Oxford at the Riverside.

Boro are the Premier League’s lowest scorers with just 19 goals but they have shipped only 14 times on home soil.

Aitor Karanka’s side rarely depart from their defensive, counter-attacking approach and a single goal could settle the tie.

Recommendation
Middlesbrough to win 1-0

Key stat
Boro have kept five clean sheets in their last seven home games


Millwall v Leicester3pm Saturday

Leicester required a replay and extra-time to see off near-rivals Derby in the last round and the Foxes should expect another tough time at the Den.

Millwall haven’t lost since before Christmas – a run stretching back 12 games – and have already upset Bournemouth and Watford on their own patch in this year’s competition.

Leicester travel to Seville for the Champions League in midweek and are likely to prioritise that.

Recommendation
Millwall draw no bet
2pts 6-5 Hills

Leicester have won just one of their last 15 games on the road
