Thankfully, this weekend's FA Cup action has given us plenty to think about, with Manchester City, United and Chelsea also going through to the fifth round.



But it was bad news for Liverpool fans, who watched their side get knocked out of the competition by relegation candidates West Brom, while Tottenham will have to face Newport again following their disappointing 1-1 draw.

But with City - who are still chasing the quadruple this season - so far ahead in the Premier League, it seems the likes of United, Chelsea and Spurs eye the FA Cup as a very good opportunity for some silverware this season.

 

As a result, all four teams played significantly strong starting line-ups in their fourth round games, with the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane all thrown in at the start for their respective sides.

But now under Alan Pardew, the former Southampton man has been reverted back to a centre-forward, and it’s really starting to pay off.

Five goals in his last six games - including a brilliant brace against Liverpool on Saturday - takes his tally for the season to eight.

What's more, he's still priced at just £2.7m on Dream Team - cheaper than the likes of Fernando Llorente, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Islam Slimani.
