Chris Sutton's predictions with Billy Bob Thornton
[BBC]

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: 3-0

Less than two years ago this was a game in League One - which shows how far Ipswich have come, and so quickly.

Ipswich are giving staying up a real go. I can't help my feelings for them as an ex-Norwich player, but my admiration for them is growing on a weekly basis because they are competitive in every game and they always give themselves a chance.

Still, they must have been kicking themselves after their draw with Fulham on Sunday. That was not the first time they have conceded late on this season, and those careless goals are really costing them.

Ipswich are not going to struggle in this one though. They will have too much for Bristol Rovers, who are having a tough time in League One.

Billy's prediction: 2-1
