2020-21 FA Cup title odds
No real surprises for the favorites. The Big 6 clubs dominate. Here’s a sampling of the odds.
| Manchester City +325 | Liverpool +600 | Manchester United +600 | Chelsea +800 | Arsenal +900 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tottenham +1000 | Wolves +1600 | Leicester +1600 | Everton +2500 | Leeds +3300 |
| Southampton +3300 | West Ham +4000 | Burnley +5000 | Crystal Palace +5000 | Newcastle +5000 |
| Sheffield +5000 | Aston Villa +6600 | Brighton +6600 | Fulham +6600 | Bournemouth +10000 |
| Brentford +10000 | Norwich +10000 | Watford +10000 | West Brom +10000 | Cardiff +15000 |
| Middlesbrough +15000 | Nottingham +15000 | Stoke +15000 | Derby +20000 | Sunderland +50000 |
Of those listed, Manchester City is always a strong bet in competitions like this. Newer, insecure, fake clubs like City tend to aim for these trophies.
Outside of them, look for Chelsea this year to make a strong run at a FA Cup trophy. Frank Lampard will want to claim some silverware this season. If Jose Mourinho doesn’t get sacked, Tottenham may put a strong focus on the FA Cup as well.
