Sunderland will play host to Arsenal a 2nd consecutive Saturday after winning their 4th round replay against Middlesbrough. Arsenal will be without last week's goal scorer, Thierry Henry after he jetted back off to the States however Gevinho could return to the lineup returning home from Africa Cup of Nations this week. Arsenal will hope a win at the Stadium of Light can take their minds away from their 4-0 humiliation at the San Siro in the Champions League on Wednesday. Sunderland will hope they can claim their first silverware since 1973 and go all the way to the final to claim their third Fa Cup title.
Everton will hope to continue on from their impressive 2-0 win over Chelsea with win over Championship high flyers, Blackpool at Goodison Park. Everton will have to vigilant for Matt Phillips who has hit some form scoring 16 goal in 24 games this season.
Millwall and Bolton can take their eyes of their precarious league positions when they meet at the den on Saturday. Bolton will hope to forget their 2-1 home defeat to the hands of lowly Wigan with victory over the Londoners. Meanwhile Millwall will be positive going into fixture after getting a decent point at Brighton on Tuesday night.
Norwich City will be favorites to advance to the quarter finals when they take on a inconsistent Leicester side at Carrow Road. The Canaries will hope to continue on from their 3-2 win in Wales against Swansea on Saturday while Leicester will want to forget about their 3-2 away defeat to the Hornets.
AVB will hope to forget about Chelsea's top four nightmares with a home tie with Birmingham. Chelsea will surely be favorites to take the victory but Birmingham are sitting highly in the Championship and could give Chelsea a hard time in the lunch time kick off. AVB can hope the FA Cup could be a lifeline to keeping his job so a slip up against Birmingham could cost him dearly.
Predictions.
Sunderland 1-1 Aresnal
Everton 2-1 Blackpool
Millwall 1-2 Bolton
Norwich 3-0 Leicester
Chelsea 2-0 Birmingham
