Cup Quarter-Finals could be Destined for Stalemate

Given the option, there are few clubs who would welcome another match added to their schedule at this stage of the season. There is every chance , however, that as many as three of this weekend’s FA Cup quarter-finals will require a replay before it’s decided who will progress to the last four.

The one exception is probably at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea can finally put an end to Stoke City’s attempt to reach their first FA Cup Final. (more…)

The FA Cup reaches the quarter final stage this weekend with Chelsea the firm 11/10 favourites to retain the trophy they won at Wembley in May.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side have not been on the best form in recent weeks, and host a Stoke side who were unbeaten in 2010 before Arsenal’s late show at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.

FA Cup Betting

It is FA Cup fifth round weekend in England and Chelsea have a great chance to continue their progress on three fronts. The reigning cup holders take on 2008 finalists Cardiff City at Stamford Bridge and are 1/6 to take their place in the next round.

Chelsea’s home form is, as ever, excellent and Cardiff were thumped 5-1 at St James’ Park in their last away fixture. I can’t see anything other than a win for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in this one. (more…)
