S.P.Read Esq: Aston Villa v West Brom

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the FA Cup game on Saturday (5.30pm, LIVE BBC1) between ASTON VILLA v WEST BROM and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

Quarter final weekend in the FA Cup and at 5.30pm we get an action replay of Tuesday night’s Premier League clash between Aston Villa and West Brom which saw Villa grab a last gasp penalty to win 2-1.

WBA are very poor away from home, having won just one of their last 10 games and Villa were full value for their win.

The stats are also on the side of Villa. This is the 13th time these sides have been drawn together in the FA Cup, with Aston Villa progressing nine times and West Brom just three.

For Villa, captain Ron Vlaar is expected to be back after a calf injury whilst West Brom’s captain Darren Fletcher is cup tied.
