The FA Cup third round weekend is always one of the highlights of the football calendar. Lower league football teams go up against some of the big Premier League teams. Maybe there will be a giant-killing or two, especially as the top-flight clubs can often rest some of their star players. Check out the WhatAcca.com FA Cup Third round professional predictions below: FRIDAY 7TH JANUARY Swindon Town 20:00 Manchester City Manchester City are among the FA Cup outright favourites. Pep Guardiola is likely to field an understrength team for his team’s visit to the County Ground. Where they will face League Two opponents. Swindon are a lively side who could get promoted this term and the Robins recently put five goals past Northampton thanks to Harry McKirdy. BEST BET: Manchester City + BTTS Yes SATURDAY 8TH JANUARY Burnley 12:30 Huddersfield Town Carlos Corberán is doing a great job at Huddersfield Town, with the Terriers enjoying recent wins over Bristol City, Blackpool and Nottingham Forest. They also ground out a goalless draw at Blackburn and can land a win at Turf Moor. Sean Dyche won’t be too fussed about the FA Cup considering that they are in deep trouble at the foot of the table. BEST BET: Huddersfield to win Millwall 12:45 Crystal Palace We can see this being a lively encounter in this London derby. Millwall will hope to be buoyed by strong home support and they have found the net in the past nine encounters. It’s hard to see Palace not scoring at The Den and Patrick Vieira might fancy a big run at the FA Cup which he won as a player. BEST BET: BTTS Yes Port Vale 15:00 Brentford Port Vale have scored 35 goals in 21 League Two matches this term. They might play out a high-scoring FA Cup clash against Brentford. Thomas Frank is likely to rest several first-team players, with the Bees hoping to get the tie won in ninety minutes and we would expect an attacking approach from both sides here. BEST BET: Over 2.5 Goals Chelsea 17:30 Chesterfield They might be four divisions apart, although Chesterfield are arguably the best team in the National League. They’ll rock up at Stamford Bridge looking to give a good account of themselves and we think they can find the net. Chelsea will be seriously understrength and their reserve team can come through with a high-scoring victory. BEST BET: Chelsea + BTTS Yes Hull City 17:30 Everton The FA Cup is going to play second fiddle to the Premier League for an Everton side who play Leicester City on Tuesday. Therefore, they could be vulnerable against a Hull City team who enjoyed a four-game winning run through November. Indeed, the Tigers have scored twice in each of their past three home games. BEST BET: Hull to win SUNDAY 9TH JANUARY West Ham United 14:00 Leeds United West Ham could win the FA Cup this season and they are capable of outscoring Leeds United at the London Stadium. David Moyes will want to keep the winning habit going after wins at Watford and Palace. Leeds might throw the team under a bus considering that the squad is looking threadbare. And also due to the Premier League survival being a high priority. Why not read the WhatAcca.com Winning Accumulator guide, created for all of our readers and subscribers to enjoy. BEST BET: West Ham + BTTS Yes Wolverhampton Wanderers 14:00 Sheffield United Two defensively strong teams meet at Molineux, with Wolves fresh from a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford. Bruno Lage might rotate his squad for this clash. We’re likely to see Adama Traore and Leandro Dendoncker come into the team. Nevertheless, Wanderers will keep things tight against a Blades team who have achieved four shutouts in their past five games. BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals Nottingham Forest 17:10 Arsenal Arsenal are betting favourites to win this FA Cup clash although the Gunners could be missing a number of key players. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Thomas Partey are at AFCON, while Mikel Arteta might rest a few others. Forest are improved under Steve Cooper and they should give a good account of themselves here.

BEST BET: BTTS Yes MONDAY 10TH JANUARY Manchester United 19:55 Aston Villa Aston Villa have already won at Old Trafford this season and the Midlands side could achieve the same feat in the FA Cup. Steven Gerrard will be confident of kicking this Manchester United side while they are down. With Ralf Rangnick seeing his Red Devils team produce an insipid performance against Wolves.
