Over 2. 5

This looks the best bet for goals in the weekend fa cup ties.

Brighton are going very well in League 1 and in my opinion are clearly the best footballing side in the league. Top of the table with a 6 point lead and a game in hand- i cant see them not getting promoted. Poyet has done a fine job his side pass the ball and turn in some very nice football. Its something we dont see enough of in the lower leagues so this is a big test for Watford.

In recent weeks we have seen Brighton hammer both Posh and Leyton Orient and these are 2 good sides.

Watford are a terrific side for overs, maybe even the best in the championship. McKay has done a good job down there and while you will get pretty long odds on them taking one of the top spots a play off place is more than possible.


Joint top scorers in the championship with 52 goals. I like the 2 strikers-Sordell and Graham- very mobile but most importantly both can score and are on top form at the moment. Graham should be a premiership player it probably wont be long till he is.

They do gift a lot of goals though, very very cheap ones. I would say out of all the championship sides in the top half of the table this team have lost more cheap goals than anyone.

This looks like a really good game to me. 2 teams on good form playing some terrific football. I dont think Brighton will be worried about this tie i think they will go there to attack. But they will be up against a very strong championship side that put teams under pressure from the very 1st whistle. Im expecting goals at both ends it should be a great cup tie.
