Tottenham FA Cup Favourites
The top four in the betting are all drawn at home in the sixth round, assuming they all get there.
It’s not often a side can be held by lower league opposition and still shorten in the betting but that is what happened to Tottenham.
The Premier League team couldn’t break down a stubborn Stevenage side flying high in League One but will fancy their chances in the reply at White Hart Lane. With a sixth-round tie at home to Bolton on the horizon, Spurs have been installed as the 5/2 (BetVictor) favourites for the FA Cup.
Liverpool are close behind at 11/4 (BetVictor) but face a tricky sixth-round tie at home to Stoke. Slightly more strange is seeing Chelsea quoted at 9/2 (BetVictor). Unable to beat Birmingham at home, the replay at St. Andrews is far from a forgone conclusion.
