Will Wednesday get walloped by Man City? Can Troy Parrott solve Tottenham’s striker problem? It’s an FA Cup-focused Spread Bets of the Day!

1. Sheffield Wednesday v Man City – Total Goals, 3.45-3.65
Though a domestic treble is effectively out of the question, City could still have the domestic cups on lock, heading into Wednesday’s FA Cup tie having won the EFL Cup at the weekend.

Pep Guardiola’s men have run roughshod over the competition in the 3rd and 4th rounds, hammering Port Vale and Fulham 4-1 and 4-0 respectively. Sheffield Wednesday – who City face at 7.45pm on BBC One – have been slightly less robust in their progress, beating Brighton 1-0 before winning 2-1 at QPR.

The Owls are also on a bit of a down turn in the Championship, drifting out of the promotion conversation after picking up just 2 wins in their last 13 games.

All signs point, then, to a big win for City. But exactly how many goals will be scored? If you were to buy a Total Goals spread of 3.45-3.65, you’d need there to be at least 4 goals to make any money. Sell at that price, and you’d need 3 goals or fewer.

2. Tottenham v Norwich – Troy Parrott SMM, 39-46
Spurts are yet to find a solution to their striker conundrum. Since Son-heung Min was injured against Aston Villa, Tottenham have lost their last 3 games in a row, from a 1-0 defeat against RB Leipzig, to back-to-back league losses to Chelsea and Wolves.

Across that trio of fixtures Jose Mourinho’s lot have scored just thrice, and one of those was an own goal from Antonio Rudiger. Steven Bergwijn got the open at Wolves, while Serge Aurier got Spurs’ 2nd.

Yet neither or those are out and out strikers. You know who is? Troy Parrott. Fans are clamouring for the 18-year old Irishman to start against Norwich, despite Mourinho claiming they ‘don’t even know’ what the youngster looks like. Will he make a difference on Wednesday? Spreadex have him at a healthy SMM spread of 39-46.

3. Leicester v Birmingham – Leicester/Birmingham Goal Supremacy, 1.55-1.75
It says a lot about the sides below them that Leicester are still comfortably in 3rd place despite picking up just 2 league wins in 2020. They’ve obviously been slightly more successful in the FA Cup, easily bypassing Wigan and Brentford.

They’ll be missing Jamie Vardy on Wednesday due to injury – though, to be honest, they’ve been missing him since December 21st, the last time he got on the score sheet.

Nevertheless they are heavy favourites to reach the quarter-finals, at a Leicester/Birmingham Goal Supremacy spread of 1.55-1.75.
