    Odds from Sky Bet:

    Chelsea 4-1
    Spurs 5-1
    Man U 11-2 OR Liverpool 9-1
    Arsenal 5-2
    Newcastle 16-1

    Selected others:
    Sunderland 18-1
    Middlesborough 125-1
    Brighton 200-1
    Wrexham 2000-1

    Obviously, we're currently 6th favourite but we're guaranteed to lose Man U or Liverpool in the 4th round. Just to remind you all, here is the draw and my predictions:

    FA Cup fourth round draw in full:

    Brighton or Wrexham v Newcastle Us to win

    Sunderland v Middlesbrough Sunderland win (possibly after a replay)

    Dagenham & Redbridge or Millwall v Southampton Millwall to win

    Hull City v Crawley Hull City

    MK Dons or QPR v Chelsea Chelsea

    West Brom v Norwich Tough one this - I'll go for Norwich

    Blackpool v Sheffield Wednesday Sheffield Wednesday, my local uni team!

    Arsenal or Leeds v Aston Villa Villa. But I reckon Leeds will beat Arsenal first

    Stevenage v Notts County Stevenage, going on their second cup run in two years?

    Watford v Tottenham Spurs. Against a better Championship team, they'd be threatened, but they should beat Watford

    Liverpool v Manchester United Liverpool. Home advantage should be enough.

    Derby v Stoke Derby. I hope.

    Everton v Fulham Tough one this. I'm going for an away win.

    Macclesfield Town or Bolton v Swansea Swansea

    Sheffield United v Birmingham or Wolves Birmingham or Sheffield United. Not at all convinced by Wolves recently.

    Nottingham Forest or Leicester v Swindon Notts Forest, just to please my flatmate.

    Think Pardew will have learnt from last years Stevenage game if we do play Wrexham. Brighton beat Mackems earlier in the season i think? Not a bad side but yeah i'm confident. Would rather a home game but not a huge problem

    I just can't see it if you ask me! Perhaps if we were to get lucky draws and the better sides get drawn against each other we might get to wembley.
