SWANSEA vs TOTTENHAM
I'm going to put my neck out and say that Swansea will find a way to beat Spurs, they have been in great form lately in the league and Spurs have begun to see their season fall apart as usual blowing a lead last week against Juventus and have hardly set the world alight in the recent rounds here struggling against lower league opposition and having to win through after a replay is hardly what you expect from a top four side. Spurs are also now without Harry Kane which surely is a big loss for them and I really fancy Swansea to get something here this afternoon.
MANCHESTER UNITED vs BRIGHTON
The evening game on Saturday night is a repeat of the 1983 final at the old Wembley and this should be a cracker, with a top class side against a team punching above their weight, Mourinho vs Houghton should be a good match up in the cup.
Even though they suffered a loss in the Champions League last week and Jose is a bit upset I expect United will start hot favourites and with a strong side should progress to the Semi Finals, Lukaku and Rashford should be too strong for the Brighton defence, back the over 2.5 goals here.
WIGAN ATHLETIC vs SOUTHAMPTON
Having put out Manchester City last time Wigan can take another premier league scalp as Southampton are in a terrible state and will surely be looking at their league status more than a cup run. The Saints manager has now been sacked with Mark Hughes taking over but will still be under pressure against Will Grigg and co who is on fire.
Backing Wigan to win here, also backing the Penalty awarded and Red Card shown markets for a bit of fun. This game will be shown live on Sunday on BBC 1.
LEICESTER CITY vs CHELSEA
Our final tie of the weekend also shown live on BBC 1 features the last two winners of the League. Leicester will be hoping that Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez can join up to put away Antonio Conte's blues in what maybe a tactical affair.
Chelsea should win here but I will be backing Jamie Vardy to score 1st goal, and also Willian to score at any time for Chelsea.
I hope that the Semi Final draw will be made when these games are concluded and not before but will wait and see.
FA CUP SEMI FINAL DRAW (Confirmed)
MANCHESTER UNITED vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
CHELSEA vs SOUTHAMPTON
Both ties to be played at Wembley in April.
