Sunday's FA Cup predictions including Liverpool vs. Cardiff City

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's FA Cup fixtures, including Liverpool vs. Cardiff.

Liverpool mark their return to the Anfield turf with the visit of Cardiff City for the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday lunchtime.

Jurgen Klopp's COVID-hit side saw off Shrewsbury Town 4-1 to get this far, while the Championship side needed extra time to get past Preston North End.

We say: Liverpool 3-0 Cardiff City


A raft of players out either injured or ineligible makes this an even more daunting encounter than Cardiff would have initially anticipated, and Morison will not be expecting miracles on the Anfield turf.

Klopp will certainly shuffle the pack himself, but even in the absence of Salah, Mane and Diaz, we can only envisage the more experienced Reds advancing comfortably.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Nott'm Forest vs. Leicester (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Nottingham Forest and Leicester City square off in an all-East Midlands showdown in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday afternoon.

At a time when Forest are challenging for the Championship playoffs, Leicester find themselves down in 10th position in the Premier League standings.

We say: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Leicester City


Both clubs will be eager to claim local bragging rights, leading us to predict a high-octane showdown between two teams who have ambitions to improve during the second half of the campaign. Forest should more than match their higher-league neighbours, but we feel that Leicester could edge this contest by the odd goal in three.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Bournemouth vs. Boreham Wood (Sunday, 6.30pm)

Bournemouth play host to Boreham Wood in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday afternoon having made an array of signings on deadline day.

At a time when the Cherries are challenging for a return to the Premier League, Boreham Wood are bidding for the National League title having already reached this stage of the FA Cup for the first time in their history.

We say: Bournemouth 3-0 Boreham Wood


With Parker expected to make changes, it may take Bournemouth time to find their stride. Nevertheless, despite the best efforts of the visitors, we feel that the Championship side should run out convincing victors.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
