Here's a look at the four matches in the next game week as the FA Cup takes centre stage.

Manchester City v Burnley

Saturday 6th January - 15:00 kick off

Pep Guardiola's side are running away with the Premier League and could secure an historic quadruple title haul if the odds are to be believed. City are favourites for every competition they're involved in – including the FA Cup - and should have the squad depth to get past Burnley.

The hosts have won the last three head-to-head meetings, although none of them come by a huge margin like they've inflicted on some teams this season. In terms of a scorer, Bernardo Silva could be set for a prominent role after taking full advantage of his starting spot against Leicester in the recent League Cup win at the King Power Stadium.

Prediction: Manchester City 3 Burnley 1

Scorer: Bernardo Silva

Norwich v Chelsea

Saturday 6th January - 17:30 kick off

A trip to Carrow Road won't be the easiest assignment for a Chelsea side who have only won two of their previous five Premier League away games. The Canaries sit 13th in the Championship, although they have proved tough to beat on their own patch of late with just one defeat in five, but a lack of defensive discipline could be their undoing.

Daniel Farke's side haven't kept a clean sheet at this venue since late September and Chelsea should be able to record a victory even if they rotate heavily after a busy festive period. Michy Batshuayi hasn't seen that much first team action since his arrival at Stamford Bridge but against non-Premier League opponents the striker has scored seven goals and provided two assists.

Prediction: Norwich 1 Chelsea 2

Scorer: Michy Batshuayi

Tottenham v AFC Wimbledon

Sunday 7th January - 15:00 kick off

Tottenham face a Thursday-Sunday turnaround after their Premier League clash with West Ham was rescheduled and so Mauricio Pochettino could be set to make even more changes than he originally planned for the visit of AFC Wimbledon.

Nevertheless, Spurs have won each of their last seven home FA Cup encounters against lower league opposition so it's unlikely many players will be opting for a shock result at Wembley. Fernando Llorente could be a solid scorer pick after his opening goal against former club Swansea in the absence of Harry Kane earlier in the week.

Prediction: Tottenham 2 AFC Wimbledon 0

Scorer: Fernando Llorente

Nottingham Forest v Arsenal

Sunday 7th Arsenal - 16:00 kick off

Nottingham Forest won't have been pleased to have seen their draw for the third round. The hosts have won just one of their previous 14 matches against the Gunners in al competitons and lost 4-0 to Arsene Wenger's men in the League Cup last term.

The Frenchman has never been eliminated at the this stage of the FA Cup and given Forest recently sacked Mark Warburton after taking just two points from a possible 15 the City Ground crowd could be in for another painful encounter. Danny Welbeck has been on the fringes at the Emirates this term so take a chance on the England international making the most of the opportunity to impress should he be named in the starting line-up.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0 Arsenal 3

Scorer: Danny Welbeck
