And then there were eight! We’re at the business end here with some mouthwatering ties in the time honoured FA Cup, and we’ve got the best soccer picks and props to build your bank. Enough waffle, let’s get stuck in!
Everton vs Manchester City
Saturday, 20th March, 1:30pm (ET)
The Toffees had a thrilling 5-4 victory against Tottenham in the round of 16 to get to this stage, but unfortunately for them, they have been rewarded with a tie against the formidable Manchester City.
City has the wood over Everton, and has won the last six match ups between the two sides, an ominous sign for the Toffees, who have lost their last two games in the Premier League, including one against lowly Burnley.
On the other hand, City have been cruising since their tough loss to cross town rivals Manchester United, and breezed through their Champions League tie midweek, thanks to a cracker from Kevin De Bruyne.
A Kevin De Bruyne rocket! 🚀

De Bruyne has started to hit his straps since returning from injury, and the Citizens should be too strong for an out of form Everton.
FA Cup Prediction: Manchester City -300
Best Prop: Halftime – Fulltime – Manchester City / Manchester City -110
Manchester United vs Leicester City
Sunday, 21st March, 1:00pm (ET)
A fantastic clash here between second (Manchester United) and third (Leicester City) on the Premier League table.
Both sides have won their last two league games, and both will undoubtedly be keen to progress to the semi-finals to have any chance of silverware this season, as it looks like Manchester City has the Premier League sewn up.
The Foxes have won just one of their last 25 matches against the Red Devils, with five draws and 19 losses in that time.
Manchester United are humming along well in all competitions, taking care of AC Milan in the Europa League thanks to the returning Paul Pogba, who has recovered from his injury.

On the other hand, Leicester will be without playmaker James Maddison and winger Harvey Barnes, which makes it tough to see them creating enough chances to get past United here.
FA Cup Prediction: Manchester United +137
To Qualify: Manchester United -143
Chelsea vs Sheffield United
Sunday, 21st March, 9:30am (ET)
We finish off with a massive mismatch, seeing lowly Sheffield United take on high-flying Chelsea.
The Blades currently sit in last place in the Premier League and have done well to make it this far in the competition, and it looks like their run will come to an end against the fourth placed Blues.
Sheffield United have had narrow one goal victories against lower league opponents to get here, with wins over Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle, and Bristol City.
The Blues are fresh off a 3-0 aggregate win against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, and should make light work of the cellar dwelling Sheffield outfit.
Havertz ➡️ Werner ➡️ Ziyech
Chelsea's summer signings combine to put them up 2-0 on aggregate 😎
