Wednesday's FA Cup predictions including Everton vs. Crystal Palace

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's FA Cup fixtures, including Everton vs. Crystal Palace.


Everton vs. Crystal Palace (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

One of only two all-Premier League FA Cup third-round ties to go to a replay, Everton and Crystal Palace reunite with one another at Goodison Park for Wednesday's rematch.

The 10-man Toffees dug in for a goalless draw at Selhurst Park in the original contest, and either Luton Town or Bolton Wanderers will be awaiting the victors later this month.

We say: Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace (a.e.t, Everton to win on penalties)


A 13-day rest ought to have done Palace's shot-shy attackers the world of good, while jellied legs are sure to at least slightly hinder Wednesday's hosts, but their dogged display against a title-chasing Aston Villa is to be commended.

The net may therefore ripple at both ends this week, but separating these two sides over the course of normal time and extra time remains an impossible ask. Everton have already lost one penalty shootout in the EFL Cup this term, but we are now backing Dyche's side to learn from that heartache and prevail from 12 yards this time around.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Bristol Rovers vs. Norwich (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

A fourth-round trip to Liverpool awaits the winners of Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay between League One outfit Bristol Rovers and Championship club Norwich City at the Memorial Stadium.

The two teams played out 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at Carrow Road on January 6, with Grant Ward cancelling out an early opener from Ashley Barnes.

We say: Bristol Rovers 1-2 Norwich City


Both teams will be motivated by the prospect of facing Liverpool in the fourth round and will fancy their chances of success on Wednesday, particularly Bristol Rovers on home soil if Norwich decide to make several changes to their lineup.

However, Wagner should still select a strong enough team capable of getting the job done this time around to avoid a cup upset.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

League One outfit Blackpool welcome Premier League side Nottingham Forest to Bloomfield Road for an FA Cup third-round replay on Wednesday night.

The Tricky Trees came from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at the City Ground just over a week ago, and the victors of the replay will set up a fourth-round tie with either West Ham United or Bristol City.

We say: Blackpool 1-2 Nottingham Forest


Blackpool have every right to feel optimistic of causing an upset on Wednesday considering their impressive home form and recent performances against Nottingham Forest.

However, having had nine full days to rest and prepare for their trip to Bloomfield Road, Forest will be confident in their own abilities to outscore their third-tier counterparts en route to securing their place in the fourth round.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
