The Premier League big-hitters join the FA Cup action in the third round this weekend.
Odds Now's Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has sifted through the fixtures to pick out a tidy 6/1 accumulator.
Odds Now's FA Cup accumulator selections for Saturday, 11th January, 2025
Selection #1 - Wolves to beat Bristol City
Wolves' improvements since the appointment of Vitor Pereira are clear to see.
The Midlanders were unbeaten in their first three matches under the Portuguese manager's tutelage prior to the defeat to Nottingham Forest on Monday.
Two of those games came on the road, where they took four points against Leicester and Tottenham respectively, and although Bristol City's 1.77 points averaged at Ashton Gate is impressive, the added quality of the Premier League side should prove too much here.
Selection #2 - Middlesbrough to beat Blackburn Rovers
Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough come into the weekend unbeaten in their last six, though four of those matches ended in draws.
Compare with the form of visitors Blackburn, who are enduring a torrid run of five matches without a win.
John Eustace's men have also failed to win their previous two away outings and face a Middlesbrough side whose home record is the ninth-best in the Championship.
Given Rovers' poor scoring record on the road, where they've averaged a measly 0.92 goals scored, it's hard to see them securing a spot in round four.

Selection #3 - Sunderland to beat Stoke City
Only Championship leaders Leeds boast a better home record than Sunderland.
The Black Cats are yet to taste defeat at the Stadium of Light after 13 matches played, averaging 2.38 points per home game in the process.
Meanwhile, Stoke have won just two matches on their travels, with the last coming in the first week of November.
