Celtic's Journey to Tannadice

The Bhoys endure traversing within the most troubling beginning to Wilfried Nancy's tenure, with the Parkhead colossus having suffered the humiliation of losing all their first three matches under their incoming custodian. The devastating 3-1 reverse to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final marked rock bottom that few connected with such a club could have foreseen.

The Frenchman enters the solitary manager in the club's to suffer defeat in his opening three games in charge, and one senses a desperate need to reverse this troubling trajectory.

Still, optimism may be gleaned from Dundee United's continued tribulations. The home outfit have proved incapable to claim three points in any of their previous seven matches, and notwithstanding Celtic's recent turmoil, the Bhoys still boast superior quality. We are backing the Parkhead institution to secure an essential three points.

While Brentford have performed beyond predictions under recently-appointed manager Keith Andrews this season, the West Londoners have now been unable to win any of their most recent three games. Additionally, they have likewise been unable to triumph in any of their previous five encounters with the Manchester outfit – including four losses.

Given this context, we are supporting Manchester City to secure progression and march on for the last four.

Newcastle United vs Fulham

Harry Wilson is experiencing an exceptional period of confidence for Fulham, with the Wales star scoring four goals in his most recent seven outings for the club. Wilson furthermore netted a hat-trick for his country during the November international intermission.

When considered against Newcastle's recent defensive frailties, conceding at least a goal in every one of their most recent eight fixtures across all competitions, we are supporting Wilson to find on the mark sheet yet again at St James' Park.
