Lawro & DC Predictions v Burnley FA CUP (H)

Postby Wonderwall » Fri Jan 25, 2019 12:57 pm

Lawro and Merson are in FA Cup prediction action this week and they both can't see Burnley getting anything from the Etihad!

BBC Radio 1Xtra DJs Dotty and Reece Parkinson have made their predictions too. Reece presents his show on Sunday nights from 21:00 GMT and Dotty is on the Breakfast Show on weekdays from 06:00 to 10:00. Unlike Lawro, they are not going with the Gunners to progress.
Dotty said: "They are my team so of course I am going to vote in their favour - I am going to say 2-1 to United." United fan fro South London SHOCK
Fulham fan Reece added: "Arsenal are not in the best form at the moment. My brother is going to hate me saying this, but I am going with United - 3-1 - with Solskjaer continuing his winning run.

City ended up beating Burnley pretty comfortably at home in the third round last season, and put five goals past them in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium in October. It might not be as emphatic, but I can certainly see this tie having a similar outcome.

Yes, City will make lots of changes, but so will Burnley - and because of the respective strength of their squads, that means two very different things.

City boss Pep Guardiola is very clever in the way he uses cup games - in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup - to put game time in his players' legs and keep them ticking over.

After such a busy January, he cannot be far off the stage where all his players are at the same level of fitness and sharpness.
One or two of City's kids will probably get a chance on Saturday too, so it is all good for them.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Dotty's prediction: 3-1


Merson Says

Sean Dyche will not just come here and lie down but in truth Burnley could just do with getting this game out of the way. I am not sure City should be favourites for the trophy though. I like them in the EFL Cup as their second string are better than other back-up players but teams are likely to go stronger in this competition. Plus, Pep Guardiola will prioritise the Champions League. They will win this one though.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0

If you add their predictions together it was spot on.
