Manchester City and Manchester United are ready to engage in battle once more, as the two clubs clash in the third round of the FA Cup. Their last  meeting saw the Citizens romp home to a historic win, and they will be confident once more given their city rivals downturn in fortunes which saw them lose 3-0 to Newcastle on Wednesday. There are plenty of other intriguing FA Cup games with some great odds on offer including Derby at 2.10 to beat Crystal Palace at home. Leeds resume their old rivalry with Arsenal when they travel to the Emirates and are a massive 11.00 to pull off an upset. 

European football also resumes as the Serie A and La Liga restart following their winter break. In Italy, Milan have a tricky away tie to Atalanta who haven’t lost at home this season and a draw at 3.40 seems to be worth a punt. The clash of Sicily sees Palermo entertain Napoli which has some excellent prices thanks to the close nature of that game. And finally in Spain, a Catalan derby sees Espanyol take on champions Barcelona in a game that has traditionally seen a lot of goals.

Join our Betclic Podcast team of Dan Vikman, Varun Mathure and Stuart Ballard to hear their take on all the action and of course who they tip this week to come out on top.

Dan Vikman – PR Manager and Betclic Podcast Host

Favourite team: Manchester City
Favourite all time player: Diego Maradona
Best match ever: The last ever Manchester derby at Maine Road in 2002, especially because City beat United 3-1 thanks to a Shaun Goater double. Not quite 6-1 but still a really special match.

About me: Football mad Swede with a love for Man City since I was a kid. I’ve been there and done it with City in the third tier of English football so I know what “we are not really here” is all about together with the Gallagher brothers, Ricky Hatton and the rest. I’ve been in the betting world for ten years and before that I was sports journalist interviewing proper legends such as Pele and Puskas and covering five Champions League finals. Enjoy cooking, reading and writing but my great family, with three wild kids, takes most of my time when I am not humming on Blue Moon.

Oliver Yew – PR Assistant and Betclic Podcast Analyst

Favourite team: Arsenal
Favourite all time player: Dennis Bergkamp
Best match ever: 2010 Champions League Round of last 16 Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona. What a great night of Champions League action at the Emirates. We won’t talk about the second leg.

About me: Arsenal season ticket holder (In Arsene I Trust) and cricket lover. I didn’t make it as a sportsman so I decided to write about it, working as a sports journalist at the Nottingham Post before joining <a href="http://Goal.com">Goal.com</a> to cover the Premier League and Champions League matches. I’ve now joined the betting world as a PR Assistant at Betclic and I also freelance as a reporter for <a href="http://Arsenal.com">Arsenal.com</a> covering the all conquering Arsenal Ladies. You may see me occasionally on Betclic TV but I normally leave that to Ian. When I’m not thinking, writing and reading about sport….I’m playing for Hornsey CC in the Middlesex County Cricket League.

Dom Poyntz – Marketing Cost Controller and Betclic Podcast Betting Expert

Favourite team: AFC Wimbledon
Favourite all time player: Robbie Earle
Best match ever:Dons 1 Man United 0 FA Cup 1997 thanks to a Marcus Gayle “bullet” header or Charlton 4 Sunderland 4 play-off final 1998, ridiculous game!

About me:I am a huge sports fan, and as well as watching AFC Wimbledon when I can I also unfortunately followed England round South Africa at the World Cup.On a happier note, I was in Sydney 6 months later to watch England finally win an Ashes series in Australia for the first time in 24 years.I enjoy playing Sunday League football and although I would describe my style of play as enthusiastic rather than skilful.I also love to have a punt with my biggest win being on the Greeks winning Euro 2004, and my biggest loss was backing Federer when he was beaten by Nadal in the classic 5 set 2008 Wimbledon Final.

Ian Hislam – UK Content Manager, Betclic TV Host and Betclic Podcast Betting Expert.

Favourite team: Crystal Palace
Favourite all time player: Paolo Di Canio
Best match ever: 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay Man United v Arsenal

About me: About me: Love everything emotive about sport. From Goran winning Wimbledon to Tardelli’s classic 1982 celebration – these are the reasons why we love sport. Presenter of Betclic TV (http://www.youtube.com/user/BetClicUK) which is great fun, and I enjoy a punt myself. Biggest win was £2 staked at odds of 1,000/1 on Liverpool to win the 2005 Champions League (at the time they were 2-0 down in their final group game that they had to win to progress). Biggest betting disappointment is probably missing out on naming the Champions League 2009 finalists. Picked Manchester United and Chelsea, only for the latter to be denied by the worst refereeing performance I have ever witnessed. Not bitter. Outside the beautiful game I enjoy spending time with my children and cooking.
