5 best FA Cup matches to watch: Manchester United travel to Yeovil

The FA Cup is back this weekend and there are plenty of great games. Here are the five best ties to watch, including Manchester United’s trip to Yeovil.

The FA Cup is back this weekend as teams who progressed to the fourth round will try to advance one stage closer to the final. It all kicks off on Friday night with Manchester United traveling to Yeovil.

Then on Saturday, Leicester face a trip to Peterborough and Liverpool host West Brom. The fourth round concludes on Sunday with Chelsea hosting Newcastle and Manchester City paying a visit to Cardiff. Here are the five best games to watch this weekend.

1. Wigan vs. West Ham

One of the bigger upsets from the third round came when League One side Wigan beat Bournemouth. The Latics almost beat Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium but were pegged back by a fighting Cherries side.

However, Eddie Howe’s men couldn’t do enough in the replay and Wigan got what they deserved, a place in the fourth round. They now face another Premier League club in the form of West Ham. The Hammers scraped through against Shrewsbury after scoring late on in extra time of the replay.

West Ham’s struggles in the last round should fill Wigan with confidence and they might fancy their chances of another scalp. Most importantly, the Latics have nothing to lose as nobody will really expect them to win this match.

If they can start the game fast and grab an early goal they’ll start to believe they can make it through. It should be an entertaining match and David Moyes will have to be weary of an embarrassing loss.
