Brentford
Brentford may be the most stable team in recent times. In the past 19 games, they have remained unbeaten in all competitions except for the loss to Tottenham. The team currently scored 37 goals and ranked second in the league in offensive power. The team is 9 points behind the top of the list with 2 games less. Maybe they will focus on the league but not the cup.
Leicester City
Leicester City has grown into a strong team in the league. Recently they have defeated Chelsea and Tottenham. They have won 4 consecutive victories and are only 2 points away from the top of the list. And they haven't won the FA Cup. They played so well this season, they shouldn't miss this opportunity.
Verdict:
There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and it is difficult for Brentford to have a chance to win in the face of a strong opponent. The Asian handicap live odd is Leicester-0.75, obvious support the away team. Leicester should win this game easily.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Manchester United:
Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; McTominay, Matic; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Cavani

Alisson; N. Williams, Phillips, Fabinho, Tsimikas; Milner, Thiago, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Minamino
Just one week after the goalless draw in the Premier League, Manchester United and Liverpool will renew the rivalry in the FA Cup fourth round at Old Trafford. In the meantime Manchester beat Fulham at Craven Cottage, while Liverpool suffered a painful home defeat to Burnley. It is clear the momentum is on United's side. The Red Devils are on the first place and Ole Gunar Solskjaer is enjoying the moment. The Norwegian coach was under big pressure in the last period, particularly after a 6:1 home defeat from Tottenham at the beginning of October. But now everything looks good for Solskjaer, three victories and one draw on the last four matches across all competitions is a good record. Manchester United managed to beat Watford in the FA Cup, as well as Burnley and Fulham, while shared the points with Liverpool last weekend. United were better team according to me and deserved the victory as Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba have missed two good opportunities. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. However, Solskjaer must decide about the starting eleven in this match. The question is what is the priority, the FA Cup or the upcoming match against Sheffield United on Wednesday. Nevertheless, a victory over arch-rivals Liverpool will increase the confidence, regardless of the competition. That means the key players will not be rested. Marcus Rashford, who sat out against Fulham, is expected to lead the line. Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay and Victor Lindelof are also be pushing for a place in the starting lineup. In addition, this is a perfect opportunity for the reserve goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who doesn't like the back-up status, to receive a chance to impress. Three players are definitely sidelined - Phil Jones, Brandon Williams and Marcos Rojo.
Liverpool are in deep crisis at the moment. The Reds are out of form and they are without a single victory in the last five matches in the Premier League. Even worse, Klopp's men have failed to score a single goal on last four matches. Of course, they beat Aston Villa with 4:1 in the previous round of the FA Cup, but the opponents played with youngsters. It is hard to believe the attacking trio of Salah, Firmino and Mane have gone four league games without scoring. Liverpool players have had a total of 87 shots since the last goal against West Bromwich, 25 days ago, but failed to score. They have dropped on the fourth place, a point ahead of Tottenham. And it could be much worse as they travel to London to face the Spurs four days later. After that, the Reds will play against tricky opponents - West Ham, Brighton, Manchester City, Leicester and Everton. The fans are not optimistic anymore and something should be changed quickly. The attack is 'toothless' and miles off what have been the last few years. The main reason for this poor results is the injury situation - key defenders Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are long-term injury victims. The absence of Diogo Jota is also a big handicap as the Portuguese forward was excellent previously. Klopp has some additional injury worries. Captain Jordan Henderson, who missed the Burnley game with a muscle strain, remain sidelined, as well as Naby Keita. Neco Williams and Kostas Tsimikas could start this game in order to give Trent Arnold-Alexander and Andrew Robertson a much needed rest.
Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction:
This is the first time Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp to go four matches without scoring in the Premier League. Last time his team did something similar was in 2006 when his Mainz side were scoreless in the Bundesliga. It is very important Liverpool to score at Old Trafford, that's a priority. Klopp doesn't care about cup competitions, the elimination is not a problem at all. But another match without goal will be a catastrophe. Considering these reasons, I expect an efficient match with goals on both sides.
