Tip Preview:
I posted this pick earlier cos odds will drop. Wexford now have their top goal-scorer Danny Furlong back from suspension. Wexford come into the match on the back of a 4-1 loss to Sligo, but Sligo but Sligo is very strong. Longford's senior goalkeeper limped off on Saturday evening and was replaced by a kid Molloy whose just 19, consequently making a mistake which gave away their second goal. So hosts likely going to be without their first choice keeper, and have a very inexperienced youngster at goals.
Wexford lost 2-0 to Longford on the first day of the season, but in contrast to the result, they deserved at least a draw if not all 3 points from the match. Missed so many good chances (47-28 DA's and 15-4 shots on the evening). I think guests have good chance to earn at least one point.

Home squad problems of important absences in midfield make guests favorite to gain at least a draw here. Scunthorpe remain in race to gain a promotion playoff place. Guests have three consecutive wins and only one defeat in last 12 rounds, Hopper ( att.27+4 4g) is a new missing, while Ness (midf. 22+4) remain out and Wiseman ( def. 21+3), O'Brien and McAllister (midf.6+5) remain out. Hosts without regular keeper Alnwick, 39 years old keeper Tyler will play first match for the team after he arrived from Luton in winter market period, where played 27 rounds, key midf. Forrester ( 31+2 2g) is out and another key midf. Bostwick ( 35+1 4g) will not play to not risk yellow card and subsequent ban for a match that means nothing for the team. Also midf. Taylor ( 31+10 7g) is doubtful. Hosts have nothing to play for.

Cornella is at third place with 53 points and in the running for promotion. team headed by Jordi Roger in their last 12 games lost only once and has collected 7 wins and 4 draws. There are not problems in training for this trip, absents: Lulu defender (11/0) and Ruano (1/0) while the good news is the return from suspensions midfielder Uche (23/1) and defender Lucas Gafarot ( 21/0). L'Hospitalet need victory, since it is located closer to the relegation zone (now only 5 points), but will not be an easy mission as the team will have some problems with absences. Without coach Marti Cifuentes (suspended), will also be absent: defender Aleix Coch (23/0) and midfielder Cristian Gomez (7/0) through suspension and also will be absent through injury the goalkeeper Aulestia (25/0), Ton midfielder (16/0) and Torres midfielder (25 / 2), while commitments with the national team, even Marc Vales absent (1/0 defender). Guests have better moment today.

Oldham is 22nd in league table, but they are just 1 point away from a safe zone. In my opinion, they will have to look for points elsewhere. They lost to Rochdale 3-2 at home in a match they deserved to lose. Now they face away trip to league leaders without key player Taylor, attacker Thiele, defender Dummigan, maybe even midfielder Winchester. It' very pessimistic in Oldham ranks, I read their forums, they expect nothing but a clear defeat. Burton trashed very good Port Vale 0-4 in last match, if they show 50% of what they shown in that game, they will beat Oldham.

Tip Preview:
Walsall dont shine last weeks but quality on their side. Walsall have been boosted by the news that defender James O'Connor has penned a contract extension. The centre-back, who has made 39 appearances for team this season, signed a two-year extension which will take him up to the summer of 2018. Walsall interim coach Jon Whitney oversaw a 4-1 win away against Chesterfield in his first game in charge, and will hope to field another strong line-up this time around. Isaiah Osbourne (knee) continues to be a long-term absentee, while striker Jordan Cook missed the Chesterfield game with a hamstring problem.
Fleetwood top scorer Bobby Grant starts a three-match suspension which rules him out of the visit of Walsall. He was sent off just a minute after coming off the bench in Saturday's defeat to Burton. Midfielder Nick Haughton is back in contention after serving a one-match ban.

Tip Preview:
Arsenal are favorites on this match. Their poor results in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League will be an extra motive to make progress in this competition. Wenger will surely take this match seriously and I expect Arsenal to win. Simply, the quality is on their side.
Arsenal are recorders in FA Cup with 12 trophies including the last two in a row. On the path to the quarter-finals they have eliminated Sunderland (3:1), Burnley (2:1) and Hull City (4:0). On the first match against Hull both sides failed to score, so the Gunners invested an extra effort to reach the quarter-finals. Olivier Giroud was double scorer on the second match and ended his poor series without goal. Theo Walcott also scored twice. Manager Arsene Wenger said about this competition and their opponents: "We have always taken the FA Cup seriously and if you look at the record we have over the years, we try to do well. This story of the FA Cup not being taken seriously is not right - everyone wants to do well. Is it fair or not to say we are favorites? I don't know. I look at the teams who are still in the competition and you could say the same to three or four as well. We must win the next game and prove that we can show consistency again. I don't believe anyone in my side thinks about Barcelona at the moment, or Everton, they are completely focused on Watford. They have done extremely well. It looks like the Championship teams that come up now deal very well with the Premier League regime." Arsenal for sure will take this competition seriously as maybe this will be their only chance for trophy in the season. They are without a victory in the Premier League in the last three rounds and the gap with Leicester increased on eight points. Arsenal lost 2:0 to Barcelona in Champions League at home and will play a tough rematch in Spain. The crucial midfielder Aaron Ramsey got injury and probably will be absent for at least one month. Wenger has more injury problems in front of this match. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky, Santi Cazorla and Petr Cech will miss the match, while Per Mertesacker, Gabriel Paulista and Laurent Koscielny are doubtful.
Watford have won their last two FA Cup quarter-finals in 2003 and 2007 and lost in the semi-finalists both times. Their opponents in previous rounds in FA Cup were Newcastle, Nottingham and Leeds. All three matches ended with 1:0 victory. But Watford are without a victory on the last three league matches. They lost 1:0 to Leicester City and Manchester United, while played a goalless draw with Bournemouth. Ten matches from 13 played in all competition in this calendar year were low scoring with less than three goals. Manager Quique Sanchez Flores said in front of this match: "We are happy with the idea to play there against Arsenal. Our mentality in the FA Cup is very simple because we don't have the necessary pressure to play nervous. It will be a very tough match but it's a big opportunity to play in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. It's a good experience for us, we will have maybe 9,000 fans following us, so we will have a lot of reasons to try to play well." He can not count on injured Tommie Hoban, while Joel Ekstrand, Miguel Britos and Craig Cathcart are doubtful.
The last mutual match between Arsenal and Watford was in October at Vicarage Road and Arsenal won 3:0. That is the only match in this season in the Premier League when Watford conceded three goals.
Probable starting lineups:
ARSENAL
Ospina, Bellerin, Paulista, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Elneny, Coquelin, Welbeck, Iwobi, Sanchez, Giroud
WATFORD
Gomes, Nyom, Prodl, Ake, Holebas, Abdi, Behrami, Suarez, Capoue, Ighalo, Deeney
