The FA Cup returns this weekend and fans are treated to sixteen matches of fourth round knockout action
On Friday the Premier League top two clash at the Etihad Stadium with City currently 3/4 favourites to win the tie in 90 minutes and 5/2 favourites to lift the trophy outright. The Gunners, despite boasting a five point lead at the top of the Premier League table, travel to Manchester as 16/5 underdogs, and are as big as 9/1 to win the FA Cup this season.
The bet365 Team Outright Wins market has odds of 5/1 for City to complete a Premier League and FA Cup trophy double. Arsenal, in the same market, are 14/1, for what would be a first league and cup double since 2002
Nine Premier League clubs exited the FA Cup at the Third Round stage, and if there is to be a fourth round giant killing, it could potentially come at St. Mary’s. Blackpool saw off Premier League Nottingham Forest by a stunning 4-1 score line in early January, and face a Southampton team embroiled in a relegation dogfight.
The Seasiders are 13/2 to record another shock, while a repeat of that 4-1 score line is a huge 125/1.
Chelsea complete record-breaking Enzo Fernandez transfer after deadline day rushThe Saints tasted defeat in their League Cup semi-final against Newcastle in midweek, and confidence remains low for the team currently occupying bottom spot in the Premier League table. Nathan Jones’ men, desperate for a morale boosting victory, are 9/20 to defeat their Championship opponents.

Everton chiefs face transfer backlash from fans after deadline day disasterHere is the full fixture list for the weekend’s FA Cup fourth round. Other notable fixtures see Leeds travel to Accrington Stanley in a lunchtime kick-off, aiming to reach the fifth round for the first time since 2016.
Wrexham, currently top of the National League, take on the Championship’s second placed team Sheff Utd in another intriguing clash. The Red Dragons knocked out Coventry in a thrilling third round tie and will be hoping home advantage can give them the edge over a strong Blades’ outfit.
