BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton has made his predictions for all 32 FA Cup third round games and given his verdict on who will make it into round four.

For this week's matches he is up against actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton, who is a Liverpool fan.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

What does Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy do here?

His side are in the relegation zone, after five straight defeats. While you may say they should focus on trying to stay up, they are clearly desperate for some confidence and the FA Cup could help give them some.

I suspect he will a) want to get a win under his belt and b) avoid the embarrassment of losing to a Championship side at home.

QPR are in mid-table but they have just won back-to-back games, against Luton and Watford, and they will make things difficult for the Foxes.

It is going to be close but Van Nistelrooy badly needs a win to end this run his side are on, and I think he will get it.

Billy's prediction: 2-2, QPR to win on penalties
