We already see a number of bookmakers offering punters some great prizes for correctly guessing six scores in upcoming Premier League games and this week it is the turn of the FA Cup.
With that in mind, we have decided to take up the Skybet Super 6 Challenge.
Here are this week's selections.
Our Skybet Super 6 Challenge predictions
Chelsea vs Morecambe
Chelsea welcome League Two side Morecambe to Stamford Bridge on Saturday in what promises to be a challenging outing for the visitors. Despite Chelsea's recent struggles, with no wins in their last four matches, their home record remains solid at W4-D3-L2 this season. Manager Enzo Maresca is likely to rotate the squad, fielding a side similar to what they have deployed in the Europa Conference League, giving fringe players a chance to impress.
In Europe, Chelsea have been dominant at home, playing four games, scoring 19 goals, and conceding just three – an average of 4.75 goals per game. Their attacking prowess will likely pose significant problems for Morecambe, who are competing in League Two.
Morecambe have struggled on the road, winning just four of their 13 away games and losing seven. They have conceded an average of 1.38 goals per game, and this fixture represents a massive step up in quality for them.
Given Chelsea’s strength and the gulf in class, it’s difficult to see anything other than a high-scoring win for the Blues in this FA Cup tie.

Bournemouth vs WBA
Bournemouth have been outstanding in the Premier League this season, showcasing their strength at home with impressive victories over Manchester City and Arsenal. On Saturday, they host Championship side West Bromwich Albion, who have struggled for consistency on the road, managing just four wins from 14 away matches.
West Brom are currently without a permanent manager, and their form has dipped since parting ways with Carlos Corberan. Defensively, they have been vulnerable, conceding in every game since the managerial change and keeping just three clean sheets from 14 away matches in the Championship.
Even with potential rotation from Bournemouth, it’s hard to imagine the Cherries not finding the back of the net at least twice against an unsettled West Brom side. However, West Brom have shown attacking capability, scoring in 12 of their 14 away matches, and should have enough quality to grab a consolation goal in what could be an entertaining encounter.

Norwich City vs Brighton
Norwich have been strong at home this season, and they will fancy their chances against a Brighton side that has struggled defensively on the road. Brighton have conceded in eight of their 10 away matches and in 16 of their 20 Premier League games overall this term.
With a couple of injuries in their squad, Brighton may look to rest or protect key players for future fixtures. However, Norwich have proven reliable in attack, scoring in 12 of their 13 home games, making it likely that both teams will find the back of the net.
While Norwich should make it a competitive game, Brighton’s overall quality should give them the edge to secure the win in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Man City vs Salford
Salford City, owned by Manchester United’s famous Class of ’92, will relish the opportunity to face Manchester City in this cup clash. City are dealing with several injuries and are expected to rotate their squad, giving some fringe players a chance to feature.
Salford, meanwhile, come into this game in excellent form, having won eight of their last nine fixtures in League Two. Their confidence and momentum could make this match much tighter than many expect.
While Manchester City undoubtedly have the superior quality and depth to secure progression to the fourth round, Salford’s recent form suggests they will not go down without a fight, making this an intriguing matchup.

Tamworth vs Tottenham
Spurs travel to Tamworth for what could be a tricky FA Cup tie. Tamworth, known for their artificial pitch, will relish the chance to stage a giant-killing in front of a live TV audience. Troy Deeney described the pitch as “horrible and on a slant,” which could make things even more challenging for the Premier League side.
Spurs are dealing with a host of injuries and may look to rest key players to avoid further disruption to their squad. Tamworth, on the other hand, have a long-throw specialist who will look to target Spurs' already weakened backline, creating real pressure in and around the box.
That said, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou cannot afford to risk an early exit in this competition, so we are likely to see a relatively strong Spurs side to ensure they get the job done. While it might not be a pretty match, Spurs should have enough quality to secure progression, even if the conditions favour the underdogs.
- Score 1-3 at 9.50 with Skybet
Arsenal vs Man Utd
Arsenal host Manchester United in what promises to be a compelling FA Cup clash. The Gunners have dominated this fixture recently, winning the last four head-to-head meetings. Despite a midweek setback in the EFL Cup, Arsenal have been excellent at home this season, remaining unbeaten in the league with six wins from nine matches.
United, on the other hand, are struggling for consistency, having lost four of their last five matches in all competitions. While they delivered an impressive performance at Anfield on Sunday, their overall away form in the Premier League has been poor, managing just two wins on the road all season.
Mikel Arteta will be eager to see his side bounce back from their cup disappointment, and with Arsenal’s strong home record and United’s struggles away, the Gunners should have enough quality to secure another victory in this rivalry.
- Score 2-1 at 8.50 with Skybet
The total odds for all six games are a massive 601,920 with Skybet, which may be worth a £1 stake for some fun, I am keen to back both Arsenal to beat Man Utd 2-1 and Chelsea to win with a comfortable 5-0 score line.
Combining these two games combined give you odds of 64.0 with Skybet.
