FA Cup 2023-24: Fourth Round Picks, Part I

 Yeah, I have to do this again. For the second straight round there's a fixture on Thursday. This would've been unthinkable a few years ago, but it's all part of the money first, football nowhere direction of the game. Anyway, time constraints kept me from doing all the picks in one fell swoop, so I decided to do the Thursday AFC Bournemouth v Swansea City tie and Friday's four fixtures in this post.

Thursday:

AFC Bournemouth 2-1 Swansea City (actual 5-0; 50pt)

Friday:

Bristol City 3-2 Nottingham Forest (actual 1-1 on replay, Nottingham Forest advanced on pens)

Sheffield Wednesday 0-2 Coventry City (actual 1-4/2-5; 50pt)

Chelsea 4-3 Aston Villa (actual 3-1 on replay; 50pt)

Tottenham Hotspur 4-4 Manchester City (Man City on penalties) (actual 0-1; 50pt)
