Seeking a second scalp over their Merseyside counterparts in the space of two weeks, Brighton & Hove Albion host holders Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup at the Amex Stadium on Sunday lunchtime.

The Seagulls powered past Middlesbrough 5-1 to progress to round four, while Jurgen Klopp's team edged Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in a replay following a 2-2 draw at Anfield.

We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Liverpool

With Liverpool demonstrating a greater sense of defensive resilience in their last couple of games, there should not be a repeat of the 3-0 Amex thumping from two weekends ago, but backing Klopp's disjointed side to win is still a tall order.

Brighton boss De Zerbi was not afraid to name a strong XI against Boro, and his charges are capable of troubling even the tightest of defences, so the Reds' FA Cup defence may very well come to an end here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Stoke vs. Stevenage (Sunday, 2.00pm)

After knocking Aston Villa out in the previous round, Stevenage will make the trip to take on Championship side Stoke City on Sunday with an FA Cup round-of-16 place on the line.

The hosts got past Hartlepool United in the third round and come into the tie on the back of a rampant victory over Reading in England's second tier last weekend.

We say: Stoke City 2-1 Stevenage

Stevenage do come into the contest with momentum and have already caused an upset in this year's competition, but, on the back of a 4-0 victory of their own last time out, we back Neil's men to come through a tough test and advance to the next round.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Championship high-flyers Sheffield United will travel to Wales on Sunday to take on National League leaders Wrexham in an FA Cup fourth-round tie.

The hosts have already beaten second-tier opposition to reach this stage, having triumphed away at Coventry City in the last round, while their visitors got past Millwall at the Den.

We say: Wrexham 1-3 Sheffield United

Wrexham will come into the tie with plenty of momentum and optimism, and while we do not expect an easy outing for the visiting Championship side, they should have the quality to come out on top and advance to the next round.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
