Man City 2/1 favourites for FA Cup
The 2011 winners made light work of Leeds and were then handed a kind quarter-final draw.
Manchester City are the new outright favourites (2/1 Coral) for the FA Cup after they beat Leeds 4-0 and were then handed a home tie with Barnsley in the quarter-finals. The Tykes are way out at 250/1 (Bet365).
The biggest game at the last eight stage looks likely to see Manchester United host Chelsea. The Red Devils must first overcome Reading (150/1 WilliamHill) on Monday night but the league leaders are 5/2 (Skybet) for the trophy.
The European champions have eased to 6/1 shots (Ladbrokes) despite their comfortable progress on Sunday against Brentford, with Old Trafford on the horizon. The Blues must see off Middlesbrough (350/1 Bet365) first regardless.
Everton (5/1 Coral) may now fancy their chances with Goodison Park clashes with Oldham (500/1 Betfred) and then Wigan (28/1 BetVictor) now stood between them and the semi-finals.
There is one all Championship clash already assured with Millwall (50/1 Skybet) set to welcome Arsenal’s conquerors Blackburn (50/1 Bet365) to the New Den.
