Chelsea is first favourite to me and they showed us how strong they are, but also here is man city who has two teams and great teams in their squad. There are no big derby in this round and that is better becouse all we want great finals and semi finals.

Some very interesting matches, I think that the best match will be between Liverpool and Swansea City, Liverpool have a lot space for improvent, Swanse is very good on start of new season, Fulham-Derby will be good match too... Totenham, Chelsea, Manchester City should win their matches easily...
