Sunday’s football tips: FA Cup favourites City 6/4 to fight their corner in Bournemouth

Manchester City are favourites for FA Cup glory but they face a tricky quarter-final tie on the road at Bournemouth today.

Pep Guardiola's side are looking to reach a third successive final and this tournament represents their only chance to salvage something from a disappointing season.

It won't be easy on the south coast though, with the Cherries looking to do the double over City after beating them at the Vitality Stadium in the league earlier this season.

AFC Bournemouth vs Manchester City top betting tips

Bournemouth's form has dipped in the last few weeks and the only victory in their last five games came on penalties against Wolves in the last round of the FA Cup.

City also headed into the international break on a downer after losing to Nottingham Forest and drawing with Brighton but they still have a superior side to the Cherries.

That's why BoyleSports make Guardiola's side 4/6 favourites to reach the semis but the odds increase to a decent 11/10 if you back them to finish the job inside 90 minutes.

City won 10-3 on the corner count on their last visit to the Vitality Stadium so it could also pay to back them at -1.5 in the corner handicap, which pays a decent 6/4.

Preston North End vs Aston Villa top betting tips

Preston North End are the only lower-league club left in the FA Cup and Deepdale will be jumping for their quarter-final tie with Aston Villa.

The draw has been pretty kind for Paul Heckingbottom's men as they've avoided top-flight opposition in their three ties so far.

They've also been at home each time and fans will be hoping the Deepdale factor can help them a spring a shock against Villa.

Preston have gone 15 games without a loss in their own back yard but BoyleSports reckon that will change today as they make Aston Villa 2/5 hot favourites for a win inside 90 minutes.

North End are ravaged with injuries and suspensions so Unai Emery's side should win this fairly comfortably. Backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time pays 6/5 with BoyleSports.

Marco Asensio has been a brilliant signing for Villa and has netted seven times in his last five outings. The former Real Madrid star is 7/4 at BoyleSports for anytime scorer and the same price for over 1.5 shots on target.

Ross County vs Dundee United top betting tips

There's one game in the SPFL Premiership and Dundee United will be looking to get back on track away to Ross County after a damaging derby defeat last weekend.

Dundee ripped Jim Goodwin's defence apart in a 4-2 win at Tannadice and that made it just one win in eight games for United.

Having sat in third place a few weeks ago, the Terrors now face a fight to seal a top-six place and it won't be easy in Dingwall.

County still have an outside chance of gatecrashing the top half themselves and a win today would move them three points behind United with two games before the league split.

The Staggies have won their last two at home so could be worth a punt at 13/8 with BoyleSports for a win. Backing a tight game is probably safer though and the half-time draw pays 20/21.

This could be a spicy one and United's Vicko Sevelj appeals at 5/2 with SkyBet for an 11th card of the season. County's Akil Wright also looks decent value for over 1.5 fouls at 7/2 with the same firm.
