Cheltenham Town Preview – Can the Robins cause an almighty cup upset?
Michael Duff’s Cheltenham Town are having a decent season in League Two. After 23 games played, the Robins have won ten, drawn seven and lost six. Along the way, Town have scored 32 and shipped 23. They currently sit sixth on 37 points.
On their way to the last 32 of the FA Cup, Cheltenham have seen off South Shields, Crewe Alexandra and Mansfield Town. They beat South Shields in normal time in round one but needed extra time to get the better of Crewe and Mansfield.
Cheltenham will no doubt enjoy the occasion against one of the world’s best teams but toppling the Premier League giants will take some doing. The fourth-tier team are available at 20/1 to cause an upset on home soil.

Man City’s excellent form in the Premier League has lifted them up to second, two points behind rivals Manchester United with a game in hand. The Manchester giants have picked up a staggering 26 points from the last 30 on offer.
