FA Cup Winner Odds

Ahead of their third-round fixture at Swindon, Premier League runaway leaders Manchester City are the favourites in our FA Cup Outright Winner betting market. Pep Guardiola’s outfit have not lifted the trophy since trouncing Watford in the 2019 final.

Chelsea, who host non-league Chesterfield in round three, are second in the betting as they bid to win the competition for the first time since 2018.

Liverpool have yet to lift the FA Cup in the Jurgen Klopp era and find themselves third in our tournament betting ahead of Shrewsbury’s trip to Anfield in the third round.

12-time winners Manchester United are fourth in our market but the Red Devils have a tricky third-round clash with Premier League rivals Aston Villa to navigate.
