The FA Cup fiifth round isn't full of stellar ties but it's certainly interesting. QPR are in terrible league form at present but have no relegation worries so they can put everything into this home tie against Watford. They have beaten Leeds United and Portsmouth to reach this stage winning both their ties at home. A big improvement considering they had lost their last six home FA Cup ties. Defending is a problem for them with four goals conceded in two of their last tthree home games. 

Watford are eighth in the Premier League and still in with a chance of making it into the Europa League next season. Winning the FA Cup would ensure that too and the fact that by the time we reach the last eight, only a maximum of two of the top six in the Premier League will qualify means they have a decent chance of lifting the trophy, Only one of their last nine league and cup games have been lost. They have had two away wins at Woking and Newcastle United to rech this stage and the tip here is for them to get a third straight away cup win.
