[u]Watford v Tottenham, Friday 19:45 BST, ESPN[/u]
Despite Tottenham's recent wobbles - if a home draw with Wolves and last-gasp reverse away to Manchester City count as such - it is difficult to make a case for them exiting the FA Cup to Championship strugglers Watford.
If the fixture was taking place a few weeks ago, with Watford unbeaten in eight, it might be different, but since putting some breathing space between themselves and the drop zone, they have lost three straight league games.
Spurs have a fine record at Vicarage Road, visiting five times without defeat since 1987, the last trip ending in a 2-1 victory in the Carling Cup three seasons ago. Add into the equation that they have won the four FA Cup clashes between the pair, and it is easy to see why they are 1.54 favourites.

[u]Brighton v Nottm Forest[/u]
Wrong price alert! Team in seventh at home to team in 22nd, surely the hosts would be around even money . . . at best? I saw the price, so I checked the current form table - perhaps there was a clue there? Nope, Brighton are 10th over the last six games, Forest are 19th. Therefore, to be able to back Albion at 2.36 really does look the bet of the weekend to me. Admittedly the Seagulls were well off colour a few weeks ago, as they went nine games without a win. But they have recaptured the form that saw them top the table in mid-September and have won three of their last four, including both their last two at home.
By contrast, Forest were stuffed 4-0 at home by Leeds in midweek to make it four defeats in their last six - and they have also failed to ...

[u]Coventry v West Ham
[/u]
They may be second, but West Ham are still proving a little bit hard to predict. They managed to sandwich a goalless draw at home to struggling Bristol City between a couple of good wins over Leicester and Hull, and for a team with clear outright promotion aspirations, they still haven't managed three victories in a row. However, they are proving very handy away from Upton Park. Five wins out of eight and only four goals conceded: their 2-0 win at Hull showing a clear ability to absorb pressure and then take their chances. They have played four away games so far against bottom-half teams, taking 10 points and scoring nine times while conceding just once.
The Hammers obviously know how to put away the poorer teams, and that makes them a tempting proposition...
