Blackburn v Newcastle (Tuesday, 19:45)

Newcastle come into this match having been thrashed 4-1 by Arsenal on Saturday. It was the fifth consecutive game in which they both scored and conceded. With Blackburn's last nine home games seeing both teams score, combining that wager with Newcastle double chance seems a safe bet at 4/51.80.

Luton v Manchester City (Tuesday, 20:00)

Luton went with a strong team when they knocked out Everton in the last round, as did Manchester City when they won at Tottenham. When these sides met in December, City had to come from behind to win 2-1. Set up a Bet Builder with Manchester City to win, both teams to score and under 4.5 goals at 16/54.20.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is 4/51.80.

(Monday's bet) Coventry v Maidstone (Monday, 19:45)

Maidstone pulled off a huge shock in the last round when they won away at Ipswich, who have been excelling in the Championship this season. Logic states that lightning won't strike twice, but with Coventry having conceded in each of their last seven home games, the National League South side may get on the scoresheet. A Coventry win and both teams to score is 13/102.30.
