Cheltenham have seen 3+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, managing to come out on top in three of these recent fixtures. They take on a Leicester side that regularly gives up chances at the back and enter this game having failed to keep a clean sheet across their last 20 matches.

Leicester have seen 3+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions as a result of this porous backline, with the Foxes only coming out on the right side of the result in two of these games. The lack of defensive solidity from the Championship side should encourage Cheltenham, who have seen 28 goals across their 13 home games in League Two this term (2.15 per game).

Leicester have seen 41 goals across their 13 away assignments in the Championship this term (3.15 per game), and I can’t see them keeping a clean sheet here given the issues they’ve had at the back over the last few months. The recent record of both sides also offers promise when looking to back goals here, with both seeing 3+ goals in their most recent fixture ahead of this clash.

Crystal Palace desperately need a win, having failed to come out on top in each of their last eight matches across all competitions. They have had some tough opponents in this run such as Man City, Arsenal and Aston Villa - but the general level of performance has been a drop off from the levels we saw from Palace last season.

They should be able to stop the rot here against a Macclesfield side that sit 14th in the National League North. Upsets are always possible in early round FA Cup ties, but I can’t see one here - the level of the Premier League is increasingly pulling away from the lower divisions, and even a rotated Palace side should be able to get the job done.

Palace have also been a lot stronger on the road than they have been at Selhurst Park in the Premier League this season, with five wins from their 10 away matches.

Everton had their backs to their wall for the final 20 minutes against Wolves on Wednesday night, and they were far from their best going forward. Despite managing 13 shots in total, just two hit the target, translating to only two corners. Prior to that, Everton had an average of 5.3 corners per game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and had landed this bet in five of their previous six home outings. 

The Black Cats have looked vulnerable at the back in recent weeks, and they shipped 18 shots and five big chances against Brentford last time out, totaling 2.97xG. The Bees racked up a total of seven corners, with four of those coming in the first half. Sunderland are conceding an average of 5.6 corners per game on the road this season, making this a good matchup for Everton.

Newcastle welcome Bournemouth for an all Premier League clash in the third round of the FA Cup, with both sides seeing really exciting matches in the Premier League during the week. Eddie Howe’s side claimed a 4-3 win over Leeds thanks to a 90+12 minute winner from Harvey Barnes. 

Bournemouth also left it late during the week, striking in the final minutes through Antoine Semenyo to pick up all three points in a 3-2 win over Tottenham. That victory marked the fifth consecutive games where Bournemouth have seen BTTS - with the Cherries notably winning just one of these games.

Newcastle’s backline isn’t the most secure at the moment either, with the Magpies seeing BTTS in three of their last five matches across all competitions. The most recent clash between these sides ended in a 0-0 draw, but the three previous head-to-head clashes have seen BTTS - with Bournemouth going unbeaten against Newcastle in each of the last five clashes.

Tottenham have struggled at home all season, with Thomas Frank’s side winning just two of their 10 home matches in the league this term. Only West Ham (7) and Wolves (4) have picked up fewer points at home than the Spurs this season.

Aston Villa have already beaten Tottenham this season, striking through Rogers and Buendia to earn a 2-1 victory. It was a fairly scrappy affair, but Villa crucially have the confidence to come out on top again if the game follows a similar pattern. Unai Emery’s side have lost just one of their last 14 matches across all competitions, with that defeat being a 4-1 loss against the league leaders, Arsenal.

Villa’s away record has been very strong as well, which is something that has previously let them down under Emery. Villa have avoided defeat in eight of their 11 away matches in the Premier League this season, with only Arsenal (20) picking up more points on the road.
