The first leg of our weekend accumulator starts on Friday night, where peerless Reading travel to Kenilworth Road. Reading are priced at an amazing 11/10 bet365 to beat Luton, who have already suffered home defeats this season to the likes of Stoke, Burnley and Hull. Reading are proving to be different class, so a bet365 11/10 quote looks far too big.

Newcastle (2/5) bet365 have won both of their matches under Glenn Roeder, and they should continue their winning ways by beating Southampton at St James' Park on Saturday. Their recent upturn in fortune may be just papering over the cracks and their cup run may well end if they're matched with a Premiership team, but the luck of the draw helped the Magpies so far and they'll be expecting to be in the hat for the quarter finals.
They may be struggling in the league, but Birmingham (Evens) bet365 have shown they're still a cut above the Championship teams by beating Reading in the last round. They travel to Stoke on Sunday, who haven't won a game since 17th December, a run which has seen them slip from 5th to 16th place in the Championship. Birmingham may not see the FA Cup as their top priority but they've got a talented squad and should have far too much for demoralised Stoke.
The final leg of our Accumulator is the weekend's only Premiership clash between Tottenham (4/6) bet365 and Wigan (4/1) bet365 . Spurs may have gone off the boil a bit in recent weeks, but their home form has remained solid (6 wins from their last 7). Wigan have lost their way lately, a last-gasp win at Middlesbrough has been their only success of 2006 and they should struggle against Spurs who'll have Mido back after his eventful African Nations Cup trip. Since their great early-season run came to an end, Wigan have won only four of their last 15 league matches.
