For some teams an FA Cup replay represents a chance to rake in some more money by getting a replay against a big club, whilst for others it is just another unwanted fixture on an already overly congested fixture list. In this article I will be taking a look at the FA Cup replays which are taking place over Tuesday and Wednesday and building a 4-fold accumulator bet for you to take advantage of.
Leicester City v Fleetwood Town
Fleetwood Town would have been delighted to have secured a 0-0 draw in the first game between these two sides, but in reality they could, and probably should, have won the game. Leicester City were very poor in that game and with Claude Puel expected to name a much changed side again, Fleetwood will again get chances. I do think Leicester will have too much quality in the end though and I’m backing them to come out on top in this one.

West Ham United v Shrewsbury Town
David Moyes has been doing pretty well since he took over from Slaven Bilic as West Ham United manager and his side will come into this game full of confidence after their 4-1 win against Huddersfield Town on Sunday. Joe Hart will likely get the chance to face his former club again on Tuesday night and I’m backing the Hammers to win this one at London Stadium.

Swansea City v Wolves
The first game between these two sides was ill tempered, with both sides being reduced to ten men on the way to a 0-0 draw. Swansea City followed that up with a battling 1-1 draw with Newcastle United, but I’m backing runaway Championship leaders, Wolves, to win this one on Wednesday night. Wolves have been excellent this season and I was a little surprised that they didn’t beat Swansea first time around, but I’m confident they can do it at The Liberty Stadium on Wednesday.

Wigan v Bournemouth
You feel like Bournemouth played Arsenal at just the right time on Sunday, with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil both left out of the squad following rumours of their likely transfers away from the Emirates Stadium. Bournemouth, though, were still excellent on their way to a 2-1 win against The Gunners which helped lift them clear of the relegation zone. I’m backing them to beat Wigan on Wednesday night and keep the good momentum going.
