Manchester City remain the betting favourites to win the FA Cup ahead of Semi-Final weekend
This season's FA Cup Semi-Finals take place this weekend with four teams battling against each other to reach the final of the oldest and most prestigious football cup competition in the world.
Manchester City are the current holders of the FA Cup after beating Manchester United in the final last season and bookmakers once again think we'll see a Manchester derby once again this year.
City face Chelsea in the first Semi-Final at Wembley this weekend and it looks like it'll be a good game with Chelsea taking points off Pep Guardiola's men twice in the Premier League this season.
Former City player Cole Palmer has been fantastic for Chelsea this season and he'll be looking for more of the same again in this game where he can punish his former side.
City will be leggy after they played 120 minutes in their penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday night but Bet365 still make them 3/5 favourites to beat Chelsea.

Manchester United face Coventry in the second Semi-Final with Erik ten Hag's men second favourites to win the cup
Manchester United take on Coventry in the other FA Cup Semi-Final this weekend and Erik ten Hag will be desperate to win here with this United's only chance of silverware this season.
United have had a mixed season to say the least and head into this game as favourites albeit not as short as they would usually be with bookies making them 1/2 to win here.
Coventry are the same odds as Chelsea are to beat City to win this game which shows you where both teams are at currently although Coventry have lost their last two games.

Coventry 28/1 outsiders to win the FA Cup with massive game ahead of them on Sunday
Coventry are the big outsiders in the outright market for the FA Cup winner this season with bookies putting them at 28/1 to lift the famous trophy for the first time since 1987.
The Sky Blues beat Tottenham 3-2 after extra time in that final which is often regarded as one of the greatest FA Cup Finals of all time.
Manchester City are the odds-on favourites to win the FA Cup this season with Pep Guardiola's side looking for a domestic double after their European exit.
