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:

Histon v Swansea
The Welsh side will feel like proving a point after the Histon players reacted underwhelming to being drawn against them in the third round. Histon haven’t lost at home in the league or FA Cup since August while Swansea are unbeaten in nine. However, at this stage last year Swansea were eliminated by non-league side, Havant and Waterlooville.

Leyton Orient v Sheffield United
Leyton Orient are winless in six while Sheffield United are unbeaten over the same number of games so an away win appears the most likely outcome. Another impressive statistic in the Yorkshire side’s favour is that they are unbeaten in seven away games since losing to their rivals Sheffield Wednesday while Orient have won just one of their last ten at home.

Norwich v Charlton (replay)
Charlton haven’t won in eighteen games and have lost each of their last five away games. Norwich are without a win in four since beating Phil Parkinson’s side at Carrow Road before Christmas. The Canaries have taken two wins and a draw from their last three home games against Charlton.

Peterborough v West Brom (replay)
West Brom knocked Peterborough out of both the FA and Carling Cups last year with a 5-0 aggregate but that looks unlikely to happen this year. Peterborough have lost just one of their last 23 league and FA Cup games and they haven’t lost at home in those competitions since August. West Brom have won just one away game all season and were knocked out of the Carling Cup by Hartlepool (after extra-time).
