Wigan Athletic are looking to recreate the magic from five years ago. Wigan captured England’s attention during its incredible FA Cup run and captivated the country as it claimed the 2013 FA Cup.
The Latics are looking to do it again this year. They are the only non-Premier League side left in the FA Cup at this point and have already taken down three EPL teams, including leaders Manchester City.
Elsewhere, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham will be in action.

Tottenham Hotspur -208Swansea City +588Draw +321Over/Under 2.5
Tottenham are about to see what life is like without Harry Kane. Kane was likely the frontrunner to win the Premier League’s Player of the Year award and was leading the EPL in goals as well. However, an ankle injury will keep him out until at least April. It will be interesting to see what Hotspur do to replace his production. Players like Dele Alli and Son Heung-min will need to play well in his absence.
As for Swansea, the Swans are going to rely on their defense. They are tied for second-to-last in terms of goals scored this season, but Lukasz Fabianski has this team clear of the relegation zone thanks to his fantastic play in net. Swansea are going to be playing this one in Wales and this is a very good price to be them at.
Brighton & Hove Albion +866
Manchester United -312Draw +406Over/Under 2.5 and 3
David de Gea can only do so much. The stalwart goaltender has been the best in the EPL thus far this season, but United have had a hard time putting in goals lately. Some of that has been due to injuries and some is because of bad luck, but if this team doesn’t start scoring soon it might find itself falling back in the race for the top four in the EPL.
Brighton has not been good away from home this season. The club is 2-4-9 on the road and has scored a scant seven goals in those 15 matches. Old Trafford is one of the toughest places to play in, so it’s hard to go against Manchester United here.
Southampton FC +108
Wigan Athletic +266Draw +226Over/Under 2 and 2.5
Wigan has been a giant killer for some time now. The Latics used to hover between Championship and Premier League, but a recent stretch of bad form has them in League One at the moment. They are very likely to move back up to Championship at the end of the season, but the icing on the cake would be getting back to the FA Cup Semifinals by knocking off their fourth Premier League team.
Things have been tough for the Saints. They recently sacked their manager and replaced him with Mark Hughes, who has been told his mission is to keep the club in the Premier League at all costs. Southampton are just one point clear of relegation and may want to save certain players in order to stave off the drop. Wigan is great value at this price, especially at home.
Chelsea +108
Leicester City +243Draw +246Over/Under 2.5
Antonio Conte is wondering what his team has to do to break through. Chelsea created plenty of goal scoring opportunities and showed very good form against Barcelona, but the Blues were only able to find the back of the net once and are out of the Champions League.
It feels like this will be a game where Chelsea lets out some steam. Leicester City have been better recently with Riyad Mahrez’s return to the team, but it won’t be able to overcome Chelsea here.
