FA Betting: United 11/4 Favourites
United are 11/4 favourites but will probably have to face Arsenal at home in the next round. We look at all the FA Cup movers from the weekend.
Manchester United are 11/4 favourites in the FA Cup betting after being drawn at home to Arsenal or Leyton Orient in the sixth round. Sir Alex Ferguson sent out a second XI against minnows Crawley Town and although unimpressive they avoided the huge banana skin. Bet365 expect a different United team will take to the field in the next round and only go 15/8 that they win the cup.
Arsenal will have to replay against Leyton Orient at the Emirates, after being pegged backed in the 89th minute. But with Chelsea crashing out the Gunners are installed as 4/1 second favourites.
Stoke and Birmingham made short work of their FA cup matches, both recording 3-0 victories. Home ties in the next round are their rewards. With one of the top two in the betting guaranteed to go out in the next round the other teams can be more optimistic of finding their way to Wembley.
