The Third Round of the FA Cup has long been associated with giant killings and massive upsets, and while there is plenty of potential for some of the underdogs to prevail again this year, other minnows could well come out on the wrong side of a thumping in one of the weekend’s FA Cup mis-matches.

Best match goals predictions

Everton vs Rotherham

Rotherham were beaten in each of their last seven games, and The Millers will arrive on Merseyside low on confidence on Saturday.
Everton scored three times when they played Rotherham at Goodison Park in the League Cup in 2018.
The Toffees have already scored three or more times in six separate matches this season, including their EFL Cup home triumph over lower league Salford City.

Crawley Town vs Leeds United

Leeds’ last seven fixtures delivered 4.85 goals per 90 minutes.
Leeds rattled home five goals in two of their last five Premier League fixtures.
Crawley conceded a whopping six goals in the last two rounds of the FA Cup, and shipped five goals in the First Round against Tranmere alone.

Manchester City vs Birmingham City

Birmingham have conceded three or more goals in three of their last five games.
Man City are unbeaten in 12 games in all competitions.
The Citizens have won six of their last eight home games, scoring 21 times in the process.
