3 FA Cup quarter final plays:
MIDDLESBORO +110 v Everton (2 units)
An improving home team over a falling away side at better than even money. Everton have real worries about avoiding the drop still and are short of first-choice players for this encounter.
'boro will be without Ugo Ehiogu (suspended) but the visitors don't have either Kevin Campbell or Drunken Duncan Ferguson up front to throw their weight around. Benito Carbone is cup-tied but Paul Ince should be back in the midfield after a groin injury.
Besides their preferred front pairing, Everton will also miss the cup-tied Lee Carsley, suspended Thomas Gravesen and the injured duo of Mark Pembridge and Steve Watson.
Sharpshooting Croatian Allen Boksic could be the ace for 'boro.
TOTTENHAM +135 v Chelsea (1 unit)
OVER 2.5 goals -155 (2 units)
Darren Sicknote Anderton, Tim Sherwood and Les Ferdinand all face late fitness tests for the home team, who thumped the visitors 5-1 in the Worthington Cup semi second leg at White Hart Lane.
Chelsea beat Fulham 3-2 at home midweek but were a little fortunate in a weird, open game. Hasselbaink and Gudjohnsen are dangers for Chelsea but Sheringham and former Mincers fave Gus Poyet could be match-winners for the loathsome Spurs.
FULHAM +140 v West Brom (1 unit)
Div One West Brom fancy their chances of an upset, being the home team and with a fine defensive unit _ 22 clean sheets this season _ against slumping Fulham.
But I think Fulham will relish the drop in class from recent matches v Boro, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea and after dropping out of Euro contention in the league, eye the Cup as their chance of glory. It will appeal to their French contingent too and they should have enough flair and passing ability to survive a torrid time from the Baggies.
