FA Cup: Latest Odds

The bookies feel pretty sure that the 2011 FA Cup winners will come from the victors of the Manchester derby in the last four, with United nothing longer than an 11/10 shot to claim the silverware. City are 9/4 with Boylesports after they struggled past a defiant Reading.

The draw has guaranteed a place in the final for one of two Premiership teams less accustomed to the Wembley spotlight. Stoke have never played in an FA Cup final in their history, and they remain outsiders for the trophy, but now only at 7/1 with Coral. Their semi-final is expected to be close with opponents Bolton priced at 6/1 with WilliamHill to go all the way. Wanderers have won this competition four times in all but with the last triumph coming in 1958, excitement levels will also be high around the Reebok.

Quarter-final weekend was resolved cleanly in the end with no ties requiring a replay. The four teams to progress were predicted by the Betting Bias tipster whose 10/1 bet slip paid out for the second time in four days. The big game of the round saw Arsenal crash out of a third competition in under two weeks after goals from Fabio and Rooney were enough for Manchester United.

Bolton squeezed out Birmingham 3-2 at St Andrews after a compelling encounter saw the home side level twice before the Trotters grabbed a 90th minute winner. Stoke were also forced to live on their nerves before narrowly edging out West Ham 2-1.
