Stats for all of tonight’s FA Cup games (Part One)

Info on games at Birmingham, Burnley, Cheltenham and Crewe

chickendinner have already told you why we think that Bristol City will eliminate Portsmouth but here are a few stats to help you bet on the other eight games taking place tonight:

Birmingham v Wolves
For the first time this season Wolves are on a run of three games without a win. The league leaders last beat Birmingham in 2001 and five of their last six encounters have finished level, which could mean a replay that would be unwelcome for both teams could be on the cards.

Burnley v QPR (replay)
The home side are winless in their last five games but have won seven of their last eleven meetings with QPR, while two have been drawn. However, the billionaires were 2-0 winners at Turf Moor last season and are unbeaten in six, although the fact that five of those have been draws suggests that penalties is a possibility.

Cheltenham v Doncaster
The hosts have won just two of the last seven encounters between these sides although both of those occasions came last season. Cheltenham have lost just one in seven but Doncaster are also on a roll having picked up successive wins for the first time this season. They haven’t won three in a row since last March.

Crewe v Millwall (replay)
Crewe haven’t been out of the relegation zone since September while Millwall have spent all of that time in the top six but in that time the Londoners twice failed to beat the strugglers at home. Millwall haven’t won in four while Crewe are unbeaten in two so there is a good chance of an upset in Alex boss Gudjon Thordarson’s first home game.
