To this week's predictions:

Finally, to the 2020 edition of the FA Cup game. As always, this is a cash game with actual £ prizes, and as always, the prize pot depends on the number of players, so the more who play, the more £ is available to win.

To recap the rules:

Stand alone from PL game - you can play this if you've not been involved before

£5 buy in - submitting predictions = agreeing to pay. Please don't make me chase you. If you don't have my details, let me know and I'll be in touch privately.

Pick the club to progress from each tie - no draws! (replays, a.e.t., pens etc all count)

Predictions need to be submitted before kick off

1 point per correct prediction

Prize money payouts to 1st, 2nd 3rd places in May (£ depends on size of prize pot)
