Latest FA Cup odds: Man City head FA Cup betting despite showdown semi-final draw with Liverpool

Manchester City are 11/8 favourites with Betfred to win the FA Cup despite being drawn against Liverpool in what promises to be a huge semi-final showdown at Wembley next month.

City, who swept Southampton aside at the St Mary's Stadium on Sunday, will now face their Merseyside rivals twice in the space of just six days.

The pair meet in what is turning into a humdinger of a Premier League clash at the Etihad on Sunday, April 10th, before both sides head to London for a sequel in the FA Cup on the following Saturday (16th).

City's lead in the title race is down to just a single point and both sides have just one Premier League game before they meet in what is being billed as the game of the season.

Liverpool are 9/4 cup second-favourites after edging past Nottingham Forest in a tight game at the City Ground on Sunday.

Chelsea will face Crystal Palace in the other semi-final after Thomas Tuchel's side made light of what look a potentially tricky trip to the Riverside Stadium.

Middlesbrough had already taken the scalps of Manchester United and Tottenham in this year's FA Cup competition but first-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech effectively put the tie to bed by the interval.

Last year's beaten FA Cup finalists are third favourites at 5/2 to go one better in 2022.

Crystal Palace have reached the semi-final stage of the FA Cup for the first time since losing the 2016 final to Manchester United in extra time.

Patrick Vieira's side piled more misery on Frank Lampard's Everton by thrashing the Toffees 4-0 at Selhurst Park on Sunday. However, the Eagles were always going to face a tough semi-final draw and they are the 11/1 outsiders of the four remaining sides.
