Manchester City are 7/2 favourites to win the FA Cup this season
Betting odds continue to be offered on the FA Cup winner this season with betting sites now placing Manchester City as the favourites to win the cup this season.
City have reached the FA Cup Final for the past two seasons with a 2-1 loss to rivals Manchester United last season preceded by a 2-1 win against United on the way to winning an historic treble the season before.
This season has been a poor one for Pep Guardiola's men with injuries to key players contributing to big inconsistency both domestically and in Europe.
Bet365's latest market though expects them to turn that form around though and win the FA Cup this season with the Citizens heading to League One side Leyton Orient on Saturday in an intriguing Fourth Round tie.
| FA Cup Winner 2024/25 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Liverpool | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Chelsea | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Newcastle | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Man Utd | 8/1 | 11.1% |

Championship side Plymouth will host Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday
One of the highlight games of the FA Cup weekend sees the Championship's bottom side Plymouth Argyle host Premier League leaders Liverpool at Home Park on Sunday.
Liverpool are absolutely flying this season and their 4-0 thumping of Tottenham in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night oozed of confidence yet again.
It'll of course be a much changed side that faces Plymouth on Sunday but bookies have them at 1/7 to get the win, with Argyle out to 18/1 for victory.
