Everton v Luton – Luton (+1)
We kick off our Saturday 3pm FA Cup Multi Match Bet Builder with an all Premier League affair as Luton head to Merseyside to take on Everton. The Toffees are one place above The Hatters in 17th, but that would be six without that caveat of the 10-point deduction.
Luton have already beaten Everton on home soil this season in what was their first-ever Premier League win back at the end of September. This is a tough one to call as neither are probably that bothered whether they win or not.
Luton just got past Bolton in the last round while Everton needed a replay to edge Crystal Palace by a solitary goals over the 180 drab minutes. Everton, overall, are in poor form at the moment so I just fancy Luton (+1). This could be a bit of a slog and I think there’s every chance these two have to do it all again at Kenilworth Road in the coming weeks.
Leeds v Plymouth – Leeds (-1), Over 2.5 goals
It’s second-tier fare here where the poor-travelling Plymouth will be up against it at Leeds who have the best record in the division in front of their own fans. They’ve taken a monster 37 points from 15 homes games and Argyle have just six in one fewer outside of Devon.
This isn’t a league match of course but, assuming Leeds take it seriously, they should win this comfortably if form’s anything to go by. They’re in good overall form and have now won four on the bounce in all competitions so I’ll have Leeds (-1) in this one.
I’m also backing Over 2.5 Goals and it’s a bet that landed at this venue when these two met back in November. United won 2-1 on that day and they’ve had Overs in six of their last eight matches. For Argyle it’s clicked in seven of their last eight in all competitions. Leeds only won the last game by a single goal but I think the gap might be bigger this time around.

Leicester v Birmingham – BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals
We’ve got another Championship stramash up next where we’ve another side who are excellent at home against one who have plenty of scope for improvement on the road. The Foxes have taken 34 points from 14 home matches while Blues have 11 from 14 on their travels.
There is potential for a surprise here, given Birmingham’s upturn in fortunes since ditching Wayne Rooney and concurrent a mini blip for the hosts. However, Leicester have already beaten Birmingham this term.
I like the look of Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Goals in this game. This easily clicked in that game at St Andrews and has paid in all three of The Blues’ most recent matches as well as three of the last four for the Foxes.
Sheffield United v Brighton – Brighton Win & BTTS
We’ll finish up at Bramall Lane where the Premier League’s bottom side Sheffield United take on Brighton who sit in 7th. The Blades got a very credible draw at the Amex in November but that’s one of two points they’ve taken on the road this term.
They’re not much better at home and you have to think Brighton will prevail inside the 90 here. The Blades have found a bit of cutting edge of late and Brighton are famous for having plenty of goals in their games.
They have had two uncharacteristic 0-0 draws in the league recently but they did ship two goals to Championship outfit Stoke in a 4-2 win last time. United have scored in four of their last five, only tasting victory against League Two’s Gillingham in the third round. It might be tight but I fancy Brighton to Win and Both Teams to Score.
