Football scores can be a tricky thing to predict - especially with the famed “magic” of the FA Cup.

Even in the last round, we saw a surprise result as Liverpool were dumped out of the tournament by Plymouth Argyle - a club that have been struggling towards the bottom of the Championship.

This round, the south coast minnows travel up to Premier League giants Manchester City, while high-flying Nottingham Forest clash with Ipswich Town. Most of the games are also being televised, with the exception of Bournemouth vs Wolves.

Aston Villa 3-0 Cardiff City: Villa's superior ability should see them through, especially playing at home.

Crystal Palace 2-0 Millwall: Palace come into this fresh off a 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the league and have conceded in just three of their last nine matches.

Preston 0-1 Burnley: Burnley have won four of their last five games without conceding, and this Lancashire derby may not see a lot of action.

Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves: Wolves recently secured a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League and could repeat the result.

Manchester City 4-0 Plymouth Argyle: City are expected to dominate against Plymouth, who have struggled defensively this season.

Newcastle 2-3 Brighton: There could be plenty of goals in this one, and it may take extra time to separate these two.

Manchester United 1-2 Fulham: Manchester United have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine home games, and they could be in for a shock when Fulham head to Old Trafford.

Nottingham Forest 3-0 Ipswich Town: Nottingham Forest have failed to win their last four matches but should have too much for Ipswich, who have proved well below Premier League standard this season.
