FA Cup Outright Betting: Man City odds-on but Man United the value at 6/1

We now know the quarter-final line-up for the FA Cup after Manchester United's win over Derby on Thursday night and Alex Keble thinks the Red Devils are a decent price to go all the way- According lớn the website free soccer tips page!

The FA Cup quarter-finals exclusively contain Premier League clubs for the first time since 2006, which could be a sign of the ever-growing chasm between England's top tier and the rest - or it could signify nothing. After all, Reading, West Brom, Birmingham City, and Sheffield Wednesday were all fairly close lớn an upset.

Unfortunately, the quarter-finals - which take place on the weekend of March 21 - do not include any clashes between 'Big Six' clubs, suggesting the tournament favourites will all make it lớn Wembley unscathed. You can prefer the soccer tips group page!

Here's a look at the odds for the 2020 FA Cup winners.

Man City - 8/13

Being banned from Europe for the next two years has refocused Manchester City, creating a vengeful atmosphere in the dressing room that has seen Pep Guardiola's side kick up a notch. Their 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in midweek made it five in a row in all competitions and, while the form may slide at some point over the next two months, City are unlikely to let up much.

With nothing to play for in the Premier League, Man City can afford to rotate key players out of the side in the build-up to FA Cup and Champions League games, giving them a clear advantage over most of their rivals.

If that wasn't enough reason lớn back them, Man City should ease past Newcastle United in the quarter-finals lớn leave two hurdles, both at Wembley, a venue Guardiola has been victorious at in each of his previous seven attempts. But, for all that, a heavy odds-on price isn't an attention grabber at this stage.

Man Utd - 6/1

Surprisingly, Man Utd have only won one FA Cup in the past 15 years, which is why victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in May is likely lớn be enough for the Norwegian to keep his job. Counter-intuitively, the biggest challenge for United might be their quarter-final tie away at Norwich, whose improving record against the big teams makes it unlikely Solskjaer's side will win comfortably for the third time this season.

Beyond that, United will relish the big occasions at Wembley. For all his tactical flaws, Solskjaer clearly has the players on side, regularly producing strong performances against 'Big Six' opposition. His counter-attacking tactics favour playing elite teams, too, and so it is certainly feasible his hungry young side will rise to the occasion in a semi-final and final against, for example, Chelsea and Man City.

After all, Man Utd have convincingly beaten both clubs already this season. With little value in backing Man City, even though it's the most likely outcome, United appeal at 6/1.
