Across City&rsquo;s last 10 matches in all competitions, Man City have averaged above 2.3 xG per game. Erling Haaland was directly involved in over 50 percent of those goals.&nbsp;<\/p><p>His non-penalty xG per 90 remains among Europe&rsquo;s elite forwards. Salford&rsquo;s defensive metrics in League Two reveal concession rates above 1.4 xGA per match across their previous 10 fixtures. There is a chance that Guardiola may choose to rotate and give Haaland some rest in the match.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Even so, Haaland&rsquo;s minutes in domestic cup ties historically remain significant. Given the gulf in squad valuation and overall quality, Haaland registering either a goal or assist aligns with expected match flow. The short price reflects the high probability of Haaland being involved in a goal.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet #2 &ndash; Liverpool vs Brighton: Reds to Win<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Market<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pick<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Odds &amp; Book<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Match Result<\/td><td>Liverpool to Win<\/td><td>-192 at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>Sunday&rsquo;s fixture at Anfield will see two top-flight sides clash, but Liverpool&rsquo;s form at home remains undeniable. Across their last 10 matches at Anfield in all competitions, the Reds have generated close to 2.1 xG per match while conceding under 1.0 xGA. Brighton remain possession-oriented, but their recent away profile shows vulnerability against aggressive transitional teams.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Over their last 10 away matches, they have conceded multiple goals in six and allowed over 1.5 xGA in half of those fixtures. Liverpool&rsquo;s forward line, anchored by Mohamed Salah&rsquo;s chance conversion and Darwin Nunez&rsquo;s movement between center-backs, consistently exploits high defensive lines.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Liverpool are handling fixture congestion and may rotate but Slot will still try to line up his strongest XI. In terms of head-to-head records, Liverpool hold a strong FA Cup record at Anfield. While Brighton can control phases of possession, Liverpool&rsquo;s intensity and directness at home tilt the win probability toward the Merseyside side.<\/p><p>\n\n\n            <div

The Gunners have been registering consistent multi-goal output in their last 10 matches. They&rsquo;re averaging above 2.0 xG per game with high shot volume inside the penalty area. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli remain key in wide areas.<\/p><p>Meanwhile Martin Odegaard orchestrates final-third combinations. Wigan is a disciplined side in lower-division competition. However, they have conceded more than 1.3 xGA per game in their last 10 outings. Against top-flight opposition in cup fixtures, their defense usually tends to compress deep.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Arsenal&rsquo;s positional play produces repeated cutbacks and second-phase attempts, both conducive to crossing the 2.5 threshold. The Gunners have also seen over 2.5 goals in seven of their last 10 home matches across competitions. Given the disparity in squad depth and Arsenal&rsquo;s emphasis on attacking rhythm even in rotation scenarios, multiple scoring opportunity remains high.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FA Cup Best Bets for 4th Round Recap &ndash; February 13-16, 2026<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Best Bet #1: <\/strong>Manchester City vs Salford City &ndash; Erling Haaland to Score or Assist (-700 at FanDuel)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best Bet #2:<\/strong> Liverpool vs Brighton &ndash; Liverpool to Win (-192 at BetMGM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best Bet #3:<\/strong> Arsenal vs Wigan Athletic &ndash; Total Goals Over 2.5 (-430 at FanDuel)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FA Cup 4th Round will begin on Friday, February 13, 2026, pitting Premier League heavyweights in decisive knockout against lower-league challengers and some of their top-flight rivals in 16 games.
