Apart from Preston-Villa, the quarter-finals are all toss-ups IMO, especially our game and Bournemouth-City. If, due to some strange circumstances, I was forced to put money on it I’d go for Fulham, City and Forest to go through. My preference would be different of course.
You don't want Fulham to beat Palace? A bit controversial on here.
 






















Our mindset needs to be we’re beating whatever team they put out.
This! They are a good side and aren't 3rd in table for no reason but, they're not unbeatable and we're more than capable of winning. The 7 nil sticks out for sure but we were awful that day, littered with mistakes, missed a few chances ourselves despite the tactical line up and everything they hit went in virtually. They scored us off the park but certainly didn't play us off the park. We are at home, we are much better and more consistent now and in form. But, for Baleba missing a glorious chance at City, probably should've been 7 wins on bounce..........

Yes, there’s a danger that the freak 7-0 has turned Forest into some unbeatable Goliath in some people's minds. Let’s not forget that the week before that match, they were beaten 5-0 by Bournemouth, and then immediately after playing us they drew with Exeter in the cup and were then beaten by Fulham and Newcastle. On top of that, I suspect our players will be feeling a very strong urge for revenge.
