FA Cup Fourth Round: No Major Shocks as City Lead Market
UK betting sites saw little movement at the top of the FA Cup winner market this weekend, with no major upsets in the Fourth Round to shake up the outright odds.
Manchester City remain the 3/1 favourites with Bet365 to lift the trophy, while Arsenal sit close behind at 10/3.
Both clubs remain in contention for an historic Quadruple, keeping pressure firmly on domestic and European rivals.
Liverpool round out the top three at 5/1, with Chelsea priced at 11/2 and Newcastle at 8/1 as we await the Fifth Round draw later today.

|---|---|
| Man City | 3/1 |
| Arsenal | 10/3 |
| Liverpool | 5/1 |
| Chelsea | 11/2 |

With the draw still to come, prices could fluctuate depending on potential heavyweight clashes.
Dorking Fire Top of National League South
One of the standout football stories of the weekend came in the National League South, where Dorking secured a chaotic 5–3 victory over Farnborough to climb to the top of the table.
Eight goals lit up the contest, with both sides trading long-range strikes before Dorking’s set-piece strength ultimately proved decisive.
Goals from Brennan Camp and Alfie Rutherford ensured the three points in an end-to-end thriller.
| National League South Winner | Odds |
|---|---|
| Dorking | 11/8 |
| Torquay | 3/1 |
| Hornchurch | 7/2 |
| Worthing | 16/1 |
| Weston Super Mare | 16/1 |
Dorking now sit as 11/8 favourites, reflecting both current league position and recent momentum.
Torquay and Hornchurch remain within striking distance but betting sites clearly believe Dorking’s attacking firepower gives them the edge.
