Lawro's FA Cup predictions

By Mark Lawrenson BBC Sport football expert

Man City v Tottenham (1300 GMT)

Manchester City have become draw specialists in recent weeks.

They are not playing badly and Robbie Fowler could be back this weekend.

Spurs have won their last four games but I think they might come unstuck here.

Verdict: 2-1

Nottingham Forest v Sheffield United (1400 GMT)

Forest boss Hart needs a win

Forest are struggling in the league but this game could provide some welcome relief.

But I don't think their form is as bad as their results suggest.

Although this match is between two Division One sides it would still be a good scalp for Forest against the high-flying Blades.

It won't be easy for Forest, as the Blades compete hard and never know when they are beaten, but a win for the home team might have a positive effect on their home form.

Verdict: 2-1

Everton v Fulham

Fulham were defensively awful at Newcastle on Monday.

They will face another tough examination against Everton and Chris Coleman's team might come badly unstuck against the likes of Wayne Rooney, Duncan Ferguson and Tomasz Radzinski.

David Moyes' team are creating chances for fun and it won't be long until they really start finding the net.

Verdict: 2-0

Wolves v West Ham

I think this will be a tight game.

Wolves are on the up having beaten Man Utd and drawn with Liverpool in the Premiership.

The other factor - and this is crucial - is that Dave Jones' team have stopped conceding goals.

Verdict: 1-0

Northampton v Man Utd (1605 GMT)

Northampton skipper Sampson dreams of success

This game brings back memories of George Best scoring six goals against Northampton in an FA Cup tie in 1970.

You have to expect Man Utd to win comfortably.

Northampton have a decent pitch, which does not really help the under dog.

But it is a fantastic tie for Northampton, a great pay day for the club and they have been involved in a fantastic build up to the match.

Feature: Echoes of George Best

Verdict: 0-3
