The Weekly Acca: Manchester United and Newcastle feature in our FA Cup shout

After a full midweek slate of Premier League action, attention turns to the FA Cup fifth round with the holders still in the mix, and here at FIRST, we’ve picked out five value plays for the weekend. 

Leg 1 – Burnley draw no bet vs Preston @ 9/25 [Saturday 12:15pm]

After playing out a 0-0 draw in the league in late February, Championship rivals Preston and Burnley battle it out with the teams having contrasting seasons.

Burnley are third and pushing for automatic promotion, while Preston are 15th and hoping to distance themselves from the relegation zone.

The Clarets, who beat Southampton in the fourth round, are incredibly hard to beat and they've kept 12 consecutive Championship clean sheets.

Preston edged past League One's Wycombe on penalties in the last round and they've won one of their last five games.

We're backing Burnley draw no bet which gives us an added safety net.

Leg 2 – Crystal Palace to beat Millwall & over 1.5 goals @ 33/50 [Saturday 12:15pm]

Crystal Palace have a golden opportunity to reach the quarter-finals as they host Millwall of the Championship.

Oliver Glasner's side hammered Aston Villa 4-1 in the Premier League this week and spirits will be high at Selhurst Park.

Palace have won seven of their last nine games, whereas Millwall are midtable in the Championship after winning one of their last four.

We’re on Palace to win and over 1.5 goals. There have been two or more goals in Palace's last eight games and it's been a winner in five of Millwall's last six matches.

Leg 3 – Over 2.5 goals in Newcastle vs Brighton @ 1/2 [Sunday 1:45pm]

Newcastle host Brighton in an all-Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon. 

Both sides are looking to secure European football and they’re sitting just outside the Champions League spots.

Instead of picking a winner, we're on over 2.5 goals. Both teams will go for it as Newcastle and Brighton are craving silverware.

There have been three or more goals in eight of Newcastle's last 10 games, while Brighton's last seven outings have averaged 3.6 goals.

Leg 4 – Over 2.5 goals in Manchester United vs Fulham @ 18/25 [Sunday 4:30pm]

The feature clash of the weekend sees Manchester United host Fulham.

United are having a dismal season sitting 14th in the league, which leaves them nine points behind their next opponent Fulham.

Marco Silva's men have won four of their last five and we can't pick a winner as you never know which United side will turn up.

Instead, we're on over 2.5 goals. United's matches average 2.7 goals while Fulham's tally is 2.8. We're expecting an open game and plenty of action.

Leg 5 – Nottingham Forest to beat Ipswich @ 33/50 [Monday 7:30pm]

Our final game in focus sees Premier League pairing Nottingham Forest and Ipswich face off.

Forest have been the surprise package of the season. While they're eyeing a top-four finish and Champions League football, they'll also be desperate to go far in the FA Cup.

The arrival of Premier League strugglers Ipswich should offer Forest an ideal opportunity to progress.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have won six of their last eight home games including a 1-0 victory against Ipswich in November. Expect the same outcome.
