Its round 5 of the FA cup this weekend, apart from the two Round 4 replays which are taking place. Surely there must have been space to fit in the 4^th round replays before this weekend. For example had Chelsea played last weekend instead of the stupid Monday night slot then they could have played on Wednesday. Should Chelsea win it will mean they will now have to play on the 1^st of March which means they will once again need to re-schedule the game against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

On TV this weekend are Crawley in their trip to Old Trafford to play Manchester United's reserves. I was really hoping for United to get a top club as this game doesn't excite me in the slightest. The other 4^th round game is Man City v Notts county. This is a game City should easily win on their home ground and serious questions should be asked if they don't. I don'r believe Chelsea have enough strength to win the Champions league and the League has now gone so this may very well be their last chance to finish the season with some silverware.

Here are my predictions for this weekends FA cup games.
