Last Game: Reading 2-0 Watford
Saturday, January 7 at 12.30pm in FA Cup

We said: Watford 1-1 Blackpool

Watford are badly hit by injuries and lacking consistency recently, while Blackpool will arrive with a degree of renewed optimism and will likely see Saturday as a good time to play this Hornets side. We fancy the Tangerines to galvanise and return to Lancashire with a commendable point at the weekend in their bid to climb out of the drop zone. Read more.
