FA Cup 2019 Quarter-Finals
The northwestern region of England is home to some of the most exciting football clubs not only in the country but also in Europe. Some of the world’s best players call the region home as they play for teams such as Everton and Liverpool.
One city, in particular, is blessed to have two great football clubs. The city of Manchester has two sides, United and City, that have won trophies at home and abroad. Not only do they have the best players and staff under their employ, but they also have large followings around the world.
Both the Red Devils and Sky Blues are still in the running and are considered favourites to win the FA Cup. They should be able to take down their opponents in the quarter-finals without so much of a problem with the quality of players they have.
However, the tournament has seen some of the biggest upsets in high-level football since its inception in 1871. Ninety minutes of football promise a lot of exciting action, and we could well see a giant-killing happen right before our eyes.
Join the SBOBET football team as we take a look at the last eight clubs still in contention for the country’s premier knockout football competition.
Watford FC vs Crystal Palace
Watford FC should have plenty of confidence that they can make the semi-finals after a battling performance at the Etihad.
The final score is more than flattering for the Sky Blues as Raheem Sterling’s hat-trick gave them a 3-1 result in front of their home fans. However, it’s important to note that one of Sterling’s goals should have been called offside. They also played well for much of the game and deserved a better final score than that.
They will be welcoming an inconsistent Crystal Palace side to Vicarage Road with the intent to avenge their tough loss at the Etihad and put on a fantastic show for the fans who will come out to support. Javi Gracia’s men will look to continue their win streak against the Eagles.
Swansea City vs Manchester City
Swansea haven’t had the best of times since being relegated from the top flight last season. They are currently on the wrong end of the Championship table at 15th, and their last five games have alternated between victories and defeat. Assuming that they keep this trend up, they will win their upcoming match against West Bromwich Albion but lose their FA Cup match against the Sky Blues.
However, it’s preposterous to even think that the Swans even have a shot at breaking Man City down. A lot of FA Cup 2019 odds point to City winning the entire dance, and their most recent performances against clubs like Watford and Bournemouth have shown that they can also grind out a victory as they fight to make their dreams of a quadruple a reality.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United
A lot of Manchester United fans are delighted with the quality performances the Red Devils have shown under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The former United player has taken the team out of the gutter that was Jose Mourinho’s managerial style and inspire the team to a couple of incredible performances at home and abroad.
The Norwegian boss has made his introduction when he led the team to an incredible comeback win against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. His approach to the game has also helped the Red Devils climb up the league table and produce incredible FA Cup 2019 highlights after taking down Arsenal and Chelsea in convincing fashion.
I will definitely be surprised if Wolverhampton Wanderers manage to even score themselves a replay at the Theatre of Dreams. While they are seventh in the league table, it’s difficult to believe that they have the players to help them fend off an extremely confident United team at the Molineux.
Millwall vs Brighton & Hove Albion
There isn’t much reason to cheer for at The Den as Millwall are dangerously close to relegation to League One football. However, their superb FA Cup run so far in the season is one of the few things that have given the suffering supporters joy.
A win here could see them play at Wembley, and that is something Neil Harris’ Lions will want to happen. While they have suffered four successive league losses, the prospect of playing at the fabled grounds of Wembley could spur the team to play harder.
However, Brighton will be quite a tough cookie for the Lions to maul. Brighton have won two of their last three games, and their victory at Selhurst Park has given Chris Hughton additional fuel to make his team play better.
