- Crystal Palace have kept six clean sheets in their last nine games
- Nine of Newcastle’s last 10 home matches have featured at least three goals
- Fulham have won five of their last six away games

We have reached the last-16 stage of the FA Cup and Championship side Plymouth’s reward for knocking out Premier League leaders Liverpool is a tough trip to Manchester City.

Other second-tier teams who head away to top-flight opposition are Millwall, who face London rivals Crystal palace, and Cardiff, who visit Aston Villa on Friday evening.

Here are our correct-score picks for all eight FA Cup fifth-round matches this weekend.

Aston Villa vs Cardiff (Friday, 8pm)

Villa’s superior ability should see them home in this one, although they have a lot to prove following their 4-1 loss at Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

Both teams have scored in seven of Villa's last eight home wins, which gives Cardiff hope they can find the net, but there is not too much more expected of the Bluebirds.

Score prediction: Aston Villa 3-1 Cardiff

Crystal Palace vs Millwall (Saturday, 12.15pm)

Millwall claimed a notable win at Championship leaders Leeds in the last round, but the Whites have bigger fish to fry and this is a much tougher assignment.

Palace come into this fresh off a 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the league and have conceded in just three of their last nine matches.

Score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-0 Millwall

Preston vs Burnley (Saturday, 12.15pm)

Burnley have won four of their last five games without conceding and this Lancashire derby may not see a lot of action.

The Clarets and Preston have played out two goalless draws in the Championship this term and there looks to be a strong chance there will be no goals in 90 minutes at Deepdale.

Score prediction: Preston 0-0 Burnley

Bournemouth vs Wolves (Saturday, 3pm)

It is only a week since Wolves left Bournemouth with a 1-0 victory in the Premier League and the improving Midlands outfit could repeat the dose against a team who have lost three of their last four games as they look to secure European football via their league position.

Score prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves

Manchester City vs Plymouth (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Manchester City have scored at least twice in six of their seven home cup and Champions League games this season and could run riot against Plymouth, who shocked a second-string Liverpool in the last round.

The FA Cup is City’s last hope for a trophy this season and they can put the Championship’s leakiest defence to the sword.

Score prediction: Manchester City 4-0 Plymouth

Newcastle vs Brighton (Sunday, 1.45pm)

There could be plenty of goals in this one and it may take extra-time to separate these two. There have been at least three goals in nine of Newcastle’s last 10 home matches and the Seagulls will be hard to shake off after scoring 18 goals in their last eight on the road.

Score prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Brighton

Manchester United vs Fulham (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Manchester United have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine home games and they could be in for a shock when Fulham head to Old Trafford.

The Cottagers have won five of their last six on the road and can book their quarter-final spot with a memorable victory.

Score prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Fulham

Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich (Monday, 7.30pm)

Nottingham Forest have failed to win their last four matches and needed a shootout to get past League One Exeter in the last round, but they should still have too much for Ipswich, who have proved well below Premier League standard this season.

Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 3-0 Ipswich.
