The English Premier League will meet the English Championship in this weekend’s FA Cup fourth-round fixtures when Coventry City attempt to derail the EPL skillset of Southampton in their travels to the St Marys Stadium.
Despite Coventry’s positive battle for a playoff position in the Championship this term, Mark Robins’ men will face a daunting task in clashing with a Southampton home record that’s seen Ralph Hasenhuttl’s squad surrender a mere one domestic loss all season.
Although Southampton is proven dominant on home soil, it’s become a rare occasion to see them obtain a clean sheet. While Southampton’s undefeated eight-game streak on home turf is a nuisance for traveling parties, a lackluster 3 clean sheets this term were all found at the beginning of this term.
The above statistics suggest that Coventry City can undoubtedly find the back net, especially with an impressive away record of their own. So long as City’s star man Viktor Gyokeres makes an appearance, the Southampton defense won’t find time to rest.
The top sportsbooks are handing Southampton a reasonable set of odds; in fact, the Saints are boasting some of the best odds for a home victory from EPL teams clashing with lower league sides.
Coventry should find a glimmer of hope by penetrating the questionable back four of Southampton. Still, ultimately, the Premier League team are expected to walk away with the bragging rights of victory.
Score Prediction: Southampton 2 – Coventry 1

Kidderminster Harriers look to defy the odds and continue their reign as the only remaining non-league team in the FA Cup. Still, a tall task awaits when a traveling Premier League squad in West Ham are ready to spoil the party.
The home side has impressed in their domestic non-league outings, sitting in third place of the National League North table; however, there are still one hundred and twelve league positions separating Kidderminster and West Ham – showing a clear difference in quality.
A storybook saga for Kidderminster as the competition’s biggest underdogs continues after they surprisingly eliminated Championship side Reading from the FA Cup last month. Earning a position in the FA Cup fourth round didn’t come easy, and manager Russell Penn will recognize the most challenging test is about to come.
When facing non-league opposition in the FA Cup, West Ham has progressed to the next round on the previous ten occasions. It’s been over one hundred years since West Ham suffered FA Cup defeat to a non-league squad (1911), and they were also a non-league side themselves.
I give Kidderminster a 1% chance of victory this weekend because everyone involved has an opportunity. But we must face facts; a West Ham b-team would give the non-league side troubles. While the visitors will be prioritizing their top-four EPL aspirations, they should sail to victory versus an incomparable level of talent.
With the difference in skill comes a wide discrepancy in available FA Cup odds. Still, I anticipate the Premier League squad to comfortably book their position in the fifth round by winning both halves of play.
Score Prediction: Kidderminster 0 – West Ham 4
FA Cup Pick: West Ham to Win Both Halves (+140) [2.40] [1u wager returns 1.40u of profit] at Everygame
