It's a huge day of cup action on both sides of the border and punters will be scanning the fixture list, looking to pick out some potential shocks.
The most intriguing game in the FA Cup fourth round comes at St Andrew's, as League One leaders Birmingham City host Newcastle United.
The Magpies are on a high after beating Arsenal in midweek to reach the EFL Cup final as they bid to end a major trophy drought that goes all the way back to the 1960s.
But that victory over the Gunners will have taken an emotional and physical toll so City will be looking to take advantage of any hangover from Eddie Howe's men.
Birmingham City vs Newcastle United top betting tips
With two divisions separating these sides, BoyleSports make Birmingham, 3/1 outsiders to go through, with Newcastle the 1/5 hot favourites.
If the Magpies play well, they should get the job done, but Chris Davies' men could cause them a few problems and look worth a speculative punt at 17/10 in the one-goal-ahead market. That bet pays out if they go one goal ahead, regardless of how the final result pans out.
The atmosphere at St James' Park in midweek was incredible, and it should be red-hot for this cup tie, too, with the Brummies out in force.
That could see the cards rack up and over 47.5 booking points pays 11/10 at Betfred. Birmingham striker Lyndon Dykes always puts himself about, and the Scotland star is 16/5 to go in the book.
Leyton Orient vs Manchester City top betting tips
Manchester City were involved in a David vs Goliath tie in the last round of the FA Cup and there's another one today as they take on Leyton Orient.
Pep Guardiola's side routed Salford City 8-0 at the Etihad and it's hard to hold out much hope for League One Orient if the Premier League champions click into gear.
Richie Wellens' side can take heart from the fact City were smashed 5-1 by Arsenal in their last game but BoyleSports make Orient 14/1 outsiders to go through.
With a Champions League playoff against Real Madrid looming in midweek, Guardiola will probably give his key men a breather.
James McAtee scored a hat-trick after being drafted in against Salford in the last round and looks good at 6/4 with BoyleSports for a goal here.
City could rack up the corners as they dominate possession and over 8.5 flag kicks for the Premier League side pays 11/8.
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Chelsea top betting tips
It will be fascinating to see how Brighton react in their cup tie with Chelsea today after being routed 7-0 by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last weekend.
Forest's speedy attack ripped the Seagulls apart on the counterattack at the City Ground, and the Blues have the same kind of pace and power in attack.
So I fancy Chelsea to win in 90 minutes at 23/20 with BoyleSports and you can boost those odds to 13/8 by adding on over 1.5 goals in a bet builder.
Pedro Neto impressed off the bench for the Blues in their win over West Ham and the winger is a decent 5/4 at Bet365 to either score or assist today.
Scottish Cup fifth round top betting tips
The best prospect of a Scottish Cup shock comes at Dens today as Championship strugglers Airdrieonians take on shell-shocked Dundee.
The Dark Blues head into this fifth-round tie after successive 6-0 defeats to Hearts and Celtic but are 1/7 hot favourites to see off a side sitting bottom of the second tier.
Airdrie are nine points adrift at the bottom but their form has picked up of late, with three successive wins in all competitions. They're 4/1 to pile on the pain for Dundee but I'm more drawn to the same odds on Ben Wilson scoring at Bet365. The Diamonds striker has netted four times in his last three outings.
Raith Rovers head to Celtic Park looking to spring the shock of the round but it's hard to see the relentless Hoops slipping up. Brendan Rodgers will ring the changes ahead of Bayern Munich's visit, and I fancy Luke McCowan for a goal at 6/4 with BoyleSports.

Have been giving games the kiss of death when putting up on here but have been following the friendlies and u19 start up in Norway over the last week or so and quite fancy these games for goals. Can sometimes be worth just sticking a few quid on all the Norwegian friendlies to go overs as it’s never far off.
Lorenskog/Asker game looks like it’s been priced generously. Asker games very good for goals and have been for some time so was surprised to see the odds.
Good luck 🤞
When are the kick offs?

Atlético Grau v Ayacucho FC
20:15
Peruvian Primera Division 🇵🇪
BTTS EVENS NAP.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals 7-5
Prediction 5-1.
Ayacucho only got promoted through a judicial review that had lasted 5 years
They finished outside the promotional places so to let them in they extended the league to 19 teams.
In the 2nd tier they were good for a goal scoring in their last 20 away games with most seeing overs too.
Grau were good at home last season and quite tight defensively, but if ayachucho haven’t signed some new defenders goals may flow even if it is matchday one
Both bets at BETWAY
Real Madrid/Hertha Berlin both teams to score DOUBLE 5/4,yesterdays bet the less said Lost
No joy with spin the wheel
Macca spot on with these own goals recently!
