Bet on football with the FA Cup
For those wanting a bet on football, the FA Cup takes centre stage again this weekend with some mouth-watering ties to get stuck into.
Middlesbrough host Manchester United on Saturday evening in one of three all-Premiership ties, with Manchester City travelling to Blackburn and Chelsea at home to Tottenham on Sunday.
Watford face a trip to Championship side Plymouth on Sunday in the fourth quarter-final, looking to put their league form behind them in the famous knock-out tournament.
United last won the cup in 2004 and those keen on a bet on football may want a punt on the Red Devils, who have bridged the gap to Chelsea this season and are now favourites to claim the Premiership title.
Chelsea are still going strong in the three remaining competitions having already won the Carling Cup but will face a Tottenham side who have began to fare better on their travels after a woeful campaign away from White Hart Lane.
Blackburn have improved as the season has progressed and will fancy their chances against an out-of-sorts Manchester City.
Watford look certainties to be relegated from the top flight but those involved in UK football betting might fancy a flutter on the Hornets to beat the Pilgrims, as they look to salvage something from a disappointing season back in the Premiership.

Sandown’s Sunderlands Imperial Cup has long proved a testing bed for improving handicap hurdlers with their sights trained on the forthcoming Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown Festivals, and this Saturday’s renewal promises to be no exception for horse race betting fans.
The ground is likely to be very testing with plenty of rain forecast through the week, so horses with proven ability to handle heavy ground should be on the short-list as Sandown’s notorious uphill finish is certain to place stamina at a premium – something to note for online horse race batting enthusiasts.
Martin Pipe (now retired) had a fine record in the race over the years and his son David’s representatives should be of particular interest to punters. Bet on horse racing here.
