Manchester City Favourites to Win FA Cup After 4th Round Draw

Manchester City won the FA Cup in 2019 under Pep Guardiola and the Citizens are now strong favourites to lift this piece of silverware for a seventh time in their history after the fourth round draw of the competition was made on Monday night.

City beat Birmingham City to beat this phase of the competition and they have now been given an away game at League Two team Cheltenham Town, with the Premier League title challengers expected to enjoy a comfortable win at Whaddon Road.

Bookmaker Unibet offer 9/4 that the north-west giant win this season’s competition, with the winner of their fourth round match then heading to either Swansea or Nottingham Forest in the fifth round, so it looks like a fairly easy passage to round six for City.

Manchester United Draw Liverpool in 4th Round

While non-league Chorley were desperately hoping to land a plum tie against Manchester United or Liverpool, the Premier League pair were actually drawn against each other and that means there will be one high-profile casualty at the fourth round stage of the competition.

The Red Devils will have home advantage and perhaps the 12/1 with William Hill about them winning the 2021 FA Cup could be worth a shout considering that the price will significantly shorten if they find a way past their Merseyside opponents.

Liverpool are now 9/1 with William Hill to win this season’s FA Cup and the winner of this clash is likely to square off with West Ham in the fifth round of the competition after the Hammer drew Doncaster in the next round.

Chelsea and Tottenham Second Favourites to Win FA Cup

Chelsea were beaten finalists in last season’s competition and they have been paired with Luton Town for a place in round five, with the Blues then potentially facing Barnsley or Norwich City away from home.

Meanwhile, Spurs will head to Championship side Wycombe for a place in the next round, with the winner of that match facing an away match at either Everton or Sheffield Wednesday.
