Burnley Preview – Will the Clarets book their place in the last eight?
Sean Dyche’s Burnley have picked up just six Premier League wins all season, but the Clarets are eight points clear of the drop zone despite their lowly position. Burnley have scored 14 league goals this term, which is the fewest in the top tier.
Before taking just one point from their last three league games, Dyche’s troops won three league and cup games in a row. They stopped Liverpool’s incredible 68-game unbeaten home record in the Premier League last month, which they followed up with wins over Fulham (FA Cup) and Aston Villa.
In the previous round, goals from Jay Rodriguez (2) and Kevin Long gave the Clarets a 3-0 win at Craven Cottage. Prior to that, they needed penalties to beat EFL League One side MK Dons at Turf Moor. Can Burnley make it three FA Cup wins in a row on Tuesday?
Bournemouth Preview – Can the Cherries get past Premier League opposition?
Jonathan Woodgate is the caretaker manager of Bournemouth after the sacking of Jason Tindall. Woodgate started by guiding the Cherries to a much-needed 3-2 victory over Birmingham City at the Vitality Stadium last Saturday.
The three points over the Blues stopped a run a four straight Championship defeats, but Bournemouth have secured wins over Oldham Athletic and Crawley Town in the FA Cup since the turn of the year.
