FA Cup Sunday Tipsheet: 7/1 Wigan shot shout plus 17/1 bet builder | OneFootball

English FA Cup

The fourth round wouldn't be complete without a giant-killing or two

Ste Tudor runs the rule over Sunday's FA Cup action, tipping a giant-killing in Cleethorpes and a surprise - but not a shock - in North London.

Birmingham v Leeds United Tip - Initial stalemate

Birmingham v Leeds UnitedSunday, 12:00Live on TNT Sports 3

The Blues were last defeated on New Year's Day with German schemer Marvin Ducksch integral to their upturn in form. The former Werder Bremen attacker boasts seven goal involvements in eight and together with Jay Stansfield will stress-test a Leeds rearguard that has faced 50 shots in their three most recent outings.

In their three games prior, they faced 25 shots combined.

Ducksch to score or assist offers up 6/4

The visitors of course have their own threats going forward, not least in Noah Okafor who has bagged two in two. The Swiss international shone in Leeds' third round victory at Derby, taking on four shots and racking up four key passes.

Notably, Leeds haven't scored or conceded inside 25 minutes in each of their last 13 fixtures and with a tight affair expected at St Andrews let's go with that run extending to 14.

Grimsby Town v Wolves Tip - Mariners to come good

Grimsby Town v WolvesSunday, 13:30

Wolves put six past League Two Shrewsbury in the third round but we can confidently rule out another hammering against fourth tier opposition this Sunday. Dramatically transformed post-Christmas, Grimsby have kept eight clean sheets in nine in the league.

It's a revival that has seen the Mariners return to the Play-Off reckoning and would be even more emphatic but for wayward finishing. At home to Accrington Stanley midweek David Artell's men registered 29 efforts on goal, eventually requiring a long-ranger to fly in.

Even accounting for a notable improvement in recent weeks, Wolves have been tame all season and a giant-killing potentially awaits at Blundell Park. The hosts are 5/1 to do that in regulation time.

A more conservative bet however focuses on the second half, with the struggling top-flight side converting just six times after the break in 2025/26 in the Premier League. That equates to a goal every 195 second-half minutes.

Nine of Grimsby's last 12 strikes meanwhile have come in the latter 45.

Oxford United v Sunderland Tip - Corners at a premium

Oxford United v Sunderland Sunday, 14:00Live on TNT Sports 5

The Us last scored at home on Boxing Day and their lack of attacking menace places serious doubt on their ability to grab the headlines this weekend. Subsequently, the hosts under 0.5 goals is a sensible Bet Builder addition at 6/5

That's not to say that Sunderland's away form is anything to write home about, the Black Cats last taking the points at Stamford Bridge back in October.

To balance this out a little, their eight-game winless run does include impressive draws secured at Anfield, Tottenham and the Amex.

In what is anticipated to be a relatively routine win for the visitors corners stand out, or rather the lack of them. Oxford have won a meagre 2.3 per 90 across their last six outings while Sunderland's corner-count has notably dipped of late, gaining just 2.4 in their last five fixtures.

Stoke City v Fulham Tips - Kevin well worth a shot

Stoke City v FulhamSunday, 14:00Live on TNT Sports 6

Fulham have both scored and conceded in 12 of their last 16 fixtures but backing BTTS at 8/11 comes with an inherent risk: the hosts haven't converted in nearly five hours of football.

A shortfall in shots partly explains for that, the Championship side registering just six efforts at Charlton midweek, only two of which came from inside the box. Indeed, to highlight their bluntness up front, striker Lamine Cisse is fancied more to be cautioned on Sunday than to find the back of the net. The 22-year-old has been booked three times in his last six starts, converting just once in that period.

He is 7/2 to see yellow again.

Marco Silva's visitors are strongly tipped to prevail here with winger Kevin tipped to do most of the damage. The Brazilian was Fulham's stand-out performer in the third round, taking on seven shots vs Middlesbrough and netting one of them.

Arsenal v Wigan Tips - Gunners surprisingly troubled

Arsenal v WiganLive on TNT Sports 1Sunday, 16:30

The Latics have picked up the fewest number of bookings in League One while only Manchester United have received fewer yellow cards than Arsenal in the top-flight. That's the obvious starting point when assessing what will surely be a straightforward win for the vastly superior hosts.

Under 2.5 cards is a decent Bet Builder add at 4/6

Elsewhere, the best value lies in backing the huge 33/1 underdogs to at least trouble the Gunners, with Mikel Arteta expected to rest key personnel, as he did against Portsmouth in the last round.

Then, a reimagined back-line faced six shots on target, the second highest tally the league leaders have conceded, across all comps, since the opening day of the season.
