County to continue cup run

After our 15/8 winner with Cheltenham Town today can we keep the winners coming with our Sunday FA Cup & Premier League double?

(Can Jeff Hughes celebrate yet another goal against Sutton United?)

In FA Cup action we see Notts County, currently in 6th place in League One, travelling to Conference South side Sutton United & the league side appear to have been underestimated in this one. Notts County's league form has tailed off slightly, they won against Scunthorpe last time out but hadn't won in 5 before that although they did have some tough assignments in those games, overall they've been pretty tough this year & deserve their current placing. Sutton have had some big wins against some of the poorer opposition in the Conference South but have sometimes disappointed against some of the better sides, that doesn't bode well in this one & they could take a beating. County are missing Lee Hughes through suspension but have a decent pairing of Karl Hawley & Ben Burgess up front & left winger Jeff Hughes has been in great scoring form this year, often cutting in from wide & has 8 goals so far this year. BlueSquare are offering odds of 8/5 that Notts County can win starting with -1 goals & they should be bet, a cup run is always a good money spinner for a League One side & they'll play a full strength team in this & should prove too strong over 90 minutes.

Due to their Europa League participation, Stoke City have yet another 3pm Sunday kick off this time at Goodison Park against Everton. The Potters progressed into the knockout phase of Europe in the week after a 1-1 draw against Dynamo Keiv but they are can't transfer their form into the Premiership. After their four previous group fixtures they have lost all four games with an aggregate score of 1-14 with defeats to Sunderland, Swansea, Arsenal & Bolton. On the road they have always struggled & they have only managed one win in their last 16 league away games with three draws & 12 defeats. Hosts Everton made their customary slow start to the season but seem to be improving week by week; helped by key players returning from injury with Sylvain Distin, Phil Neville & Jack Rodwell likely to return tomorrow. They have won their last two games against Bolton & Wolves and are vying to win three successive league matches for the first time in 22 months. We expect Everton to be too strong for Stoke as their away day woes continue at the best price of 3/4 with Paddy Power.

Selections:

Notts County to beat Sutton United with -1 goal on the handicap at 8/5 (BlueSquare)
Everton to beat Stoke City at 3/4 (Paddy Power)
The above double pays just over 7/2
