Who are the favourites to win the FA Cup?
Manchester City are favourites to win the 2024/25 FA Cup at a best price of 21/10 with AKBets.
With seven FA Cup titles, including their 2022/23 triumph, Pep Guardiola’s side have reached six straight semi-finals and are 4/5 to make that seven when they face Bournemouth.
This season, they’ve had a fairly easy run up to this point in the competition, beating Salford, Leyton Orient and Plymouth.
Aston Villa are the second favourites at a best price of 4/1 with various bookmakers.
Villa are seven-time FA Cup winners, tied with Manchester City, but their last triumph was in 1957.
Their path to the quarter-finals has been relatively smooth, with wins over West Ham, Chelsea and Cardiff City, and they now face Championship side Preston North End, a winnable tie.
While a potential semi-final clash with Manchester City would be their toughest challenge, Villa's 1-0 league win over them this season shows they can compete.
Brighton are the third favourites at a best price of 11/2 with Betfred.
After a thrilling progression through the earlier rounds, including a 5-2 win over Sheffield United and a dramatic extra-time victory over Newcastle, Brighton now face Nottingham Forest at the Amex Stadium.
