Our pre-match preview

Expect a physical, direct FA Cup tie on a compact pitch, with both sides more likely to win territory through set pieces and quick transitions than through patient build-up. Neither side has data in our model, so the match is best read as a battle of organisation and first-half restraint rather than a settled favourite.

The key battle will be in midfield, where whoever controls the second balls and wins the aerial duels around the box will likely dictate the tempo. Cup ties of this kind often tighten up after an early goal, so game management and discipline under pressure will matter as much as attacking quality.
