Sheffield United suffered their first home loss in 44 years to fierce rivals Sheffield Wednesday last weekend but they could bounce back by knocking out Premier League side Hull in the FA Cup tomorrow:

Blackburn v Coventry
Rovers were humiliated by the Sky Blues 4-1 at Ewood Park in the third round last year and haven’t won any of their last four home clashes against the Championship side, losing three. Former Blackburn player Chris Coleman’s side beat league leaders Wolves last week but have won just one of their last five away games, 1-0 against Blue Square Premier side Torquay in the last round. The hosts have lost just one of ten under Sam Allardyce.

Who will be this season’s Havant and Waterlooville?

Bet on which Blue Square team get the furthest this year

888sport and Blue Square have opened markets on which team from the Blue Square Premier, South and North will go furthest in this year’s FA Cup.

Torquay, who are second in the Premier and on an eleven match unbeaten run, are worthy favourites at 9/2. They reached the FA Trophy final last season and knocked League One Yeovil out of the FA Cup. They have a good first round draw too, at home to Evesham, a team who are struggling two divisions below without an away win.

However, don’t be put off backing a team just because they have a tough first round clash because whoever goes the furthest is going to have to beat someone bigger than them; Havant beat Notts County and Swansea to earn their fourth round trip to Anfield last season.
