FA Cup
Most of this weekends ties look to have a certain amount of inevitability about them. You would expect to see most of the favourites see off the weaker teams, but I do fancy the look of Stoke vs Brighton.
It has a nice set up to it with Stoke doing ‘OK’ in the Premiership but Brighton going great guns in league one. I reckon the seagulls will really be up for this match and will have the belief they can win. Therefore, for this match at least, I will favour positions that profit from a good Brighton performance (EDIT : I should caveat that this is a bit speculative as Brighton at away. At home it is much more favourable). For the others, I find it difficult to look much beyond the favourite, though team sheets could change that.
