FA Cup winner betting: City odds-on favourites for glory

Manchester City are the clear favourites in Coral’s FA Cup winner odds after reaching the semi-finals and avoiding Premier League opposition.

City powered into the last four of the competition for a sixth time under Pep Guardiola as they thrashed Burnley 6-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

They now face Burnley’s Championship promotion rivals Sheffield United at Wembley so will be firm favourites to reach the final at the expense of the Blades and are 8/13 to win the competition.

Paul Heckingbottom’s side are the last remaining Championship club in the draw after securing a dramatic 3-2 win over Blackburn on Sunday.

The scheduling could help United cause an upset though, with the semi-finals coming just days after what could be a titanic Champions League quarter-final tussle for City at Bayern Munich.

City have lost four of their five FA Cup semi-finals under Guardiola, who said: “The worst game we play is always the semi-final of FA Cup at Wembley. Never we were there.

“Our performances were really poor every time. Even the year we won we struggled, against Brighton, not really good.

“Hopefully one year we can play the semi-finals here in Manchester – but the last years always before or after the Champions League quarter-final we travelled.

“We were not ready, tired, and hopefully this year we can prepare a bit better. The final of FA Cup is a dream to play and this season we are going to try.”
