One of the ties of the round sees Chelsea take on QPR in a West London derby at Loftus Road in the FA Cup fourth round.
Chelsea cruised through their third round match against Portsmouth, running out 4-0 winners, while QPR required a replay to beat League One MK Dons 1-0.
Many will see this as a game that Chelsea should win comfortably, with QPR languishing near the bottom of the Premier League this season.
But the FA Cup is the home of shocks and upsets, so there is no good reason to rule out Mark Hughes’ men just yet.
Hughes has concentrated on tightening up his side’s leaky defence in the transfer window, with the captures of Nedum Onuoha from Manchester City, and Taye Taiwo from AC Milan.
When these two sides met in the Premier League earlier this season, there was something of a shock, with Rangers running out 1-0 winners thanks to an early Heidar Helguson penalty. The game was marred by alleged racism from John Terry towards Anton Ferdinand.
Match Winner
Chelsea are the favourites to come out on top in this clash, and are 1.62 (8/13) on with Paddy Power to do just that.
QPR are understandably the outsiders at 6.00 (5/1), while you can get odds of 4.00 (3/1) with Bet365 that this will end in a draw and go to a replay.
First Goalscorer
Daniel Sturridge has risen to the position of top striker for Chelsea now, with Didier Drogba away on Africa Cup of Nations duty with the Ivory Coast. He is the 5.00 (4/1) favourite to score first in this match.
Fernando Torres can be backed at 5.50 (9/2), while Frank Lampard and Romelu Lukaku are each priced at 6.50 (11/2).
QPR’s Heidar Helguson is priced at 9.00 (8/1), while his team mates Jay Bothroyd and Federico Macheda are each available at 10.00 (9/1).
Recommended Bets
They have done it already this season, so there is no reason why QPR cannot beat Chelsea 1-0 again when they meet on Saturday.
At odds of 15.00 (14/1) with William Hill, this would be an outside bet, but it may also be a very shrewd one considering the nature of football.
