I would say Liverpool will get back to winning ways on Friday, because of what's happened in midweek, I think they'll go into the game really wound up and ready to go, and I would expect Liverpool to bounce back and go through to the next round.
Liverpool need the FA Cup this season for obvious reasons. So, they need a big performance, and they need to turn it around what happened in midweek in terms of the league game. They need to go there and need to get through to the next round, because it's a big competition now for Liverpool this season.
I guess Mikel Arteta will make changes, but I even think with the players that come in, they'll still have the quality. I don't see a shock at Mansfield, no, I think Arsenal will go through with ease.
I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm going and doing the co-comms for this game. I did Chelsea in the last round against Hull. They went there with a great attitude, as you have to. It will be something similar here. I mean, Wrexham will be rocking. It'll be absolutely rocking on Saturday at the Racecourse ground. It'll be a great atmosphere and I always say it, this all depends on the attitude of whoever's going to the lower league ground.
It's been an unbelievable story with Wrexham since Rob and Ryan have taken over. And I guess this is just part of their journey.
I do think, with the quality that Chelsea have, with the result they had in midweek away from home, I still think whatever team he puts out they'll still have enough to beat Wrexham.
I think Man City would have looked at Newcastle's game against Manchester United and wouldn't have wanted Newcastle to put in the performance like they did, and get their belief and the confidence back. They'd have rather Manchester United beat them and put them under huge pressure.
Pep knows that coming to St. James' Park is probably one of their toughest games of the season for Man City. I genuinely think Newcastle have got a chance of going through. I think City will give them chances, and with the pace they've got up front, and obviously City won't sit back will play to their strengths. This season when, if there is a time when Newcastle struggle, it's been when trying to break someone down who's got a low block.
But City won't do that, so I guess they'll leave space in behind, and I think Newcastle might get through here. It'll be tight, it always is, but I think Newcastle might have enough to get through.
