FA Cup Third Round (replay)

Coventry v Cardiff  at Highfield Road ko 19-45

Coventry will be hoping home advantage will be on there side when they take on Second Division favourites Cardiff for the second time in this Third Round Replay , the Sky Blues are without Youssef Safri after the midfielder requires a hernia operation , Jaun Sara is also out due to being cup tied but Mcallister welcomes back Jay Bothroyd and Dean Gordon after suspensions.

Cardiff are one of my tips to go far in this cup outside the top two divisions and there is a possible upset on the cards tonight , Robert Earnshaw and Peter Thorne carry the Bluebirds threat up front while Graeme Kavangh is the midfield key in this fixture , Fan Zhiyi is still out serving a suspension and Danny Gabbiedon and Gareth Whalley are long term absentees , but Cardiff welcome back Scott Young who has shook of a back injury.

One To Watch Robert Earnshaw - Cardiff

Prediction Coventry 1 Cardiff 2 (AET)
