With the FA Cup stealing centre stage this weekend, we have a string of eye-catching affairs from up and down the country.
As the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool look to extend on their own respective adventures, we are also treated to a couple of all-Championship battles.
For those of you looking to stick on a Saturday flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive FA Cup betting tips.
15:00 Southampton vs Leicester City
Mounting what will be remember as an all-time comeback at the King Power in midweek, Southampton will certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Coming from 3-0 down at half-time and eventually storming their way to a famous 4-3 victory against Saturday’s guests, Tonda Eckert’s side will be smelling a golden opportunity to pile even more pressure onto the Foxes. Really kickstarting their play-off dreams and currently sat just one-point adrift of finding a route into the top-six, the Saints have their sights firmly set on securing an immediate Premier League return in 2026. Signing off January with a 2-0 win against Stoke, Southampton have won each of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 7-3. In fact, including a 1-0 victory against Sheffield United on January 21st, Eckert’s high-flying squad have also registered 13 points from their last five showdowns against Championship opposition.
Suffering that infamous collapse on Tuesday night as they eventually fell to that nightmare 4-3 loss at the King Power, Leicester find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Hit with a six-point deduction last week and dealing with a string of financial issues, the Foxes now have an almighty battle on their hands in the race to maintain their Championship status. Getting February underway with a 2-1 loss away at Birmingham, Saturday’s guests have now lost all of their previous four consecutive Championship appearances by an aggregate score of 10-5. In fact, interim boss Andy King has also seen his squad register just one-point from their last six outings. Showing a host of defensive struggles, Leicester have also recorded just a sole Championship win so far this calendar year. Falling to that remarkable 4-3 defeat when they met the Saints in midweek, we are expecting a similar outcome at St. Mary’s.

15:00 Norwich City vs West Brom
While Norwich might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a record-breaking rut, the Canaries have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Only continuing to shine since Philippe Clement’s arrival in Norfolk, the former Rangers boss has seen his squad come skyrocketing up the Championship table. Last seen putting in another dominant display as they cruised their way to a 3-0 victory away at Oxford, they are riding what has become a real wave of momentum. In fact, getting February underway with a routine 2-0 win at home against Blackburn, Norwich have won six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Extending on their FA Cup adventure on January 11th as they secured a 5-1 romp against League Two outfit Walsall, Clement’s side have also continued to shine on home soil. It should be highlighted, the Canaries have won their last three showdowns at Carrow Road by an aggregate score of 9-1.
Although Eric Ramsay might have only arrived at the Hawthorns last month, the former Minnesota boss already finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling point. Still at the heart of an infamous Championship relegation scrap, West Brom currency hold just a two-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. Now playing out consecutive 0-0 stalemates against Birmingham and Stoke, Saturday’s guests have remarkably claimed just three points from any of their last eight consecutive Championship appearances. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, the Baggies have also gained a reputation for their issues on the road. It should be highlighted, on what has been a record-breaking rut, West Brom have failed to record a single Championship victory away from the Hawthorns since the start of October. Likewise, Ramsay’s struggling squad also slumped to a woeful 5-0 drumming when they welcomed Norwich to the Midlands back on January 20th.
