FA Cup favourites and odds: Arsenal fancied after fifth-round draw
Ladbrokes shares its latest odds for the 2025/26 FA Cup winner
Arsenal are favourites ahead of Manchester City, with Liverpool third in line
Chelsea and Newcastle make up the five likeliest contenders

Ahead of the 2025/26 FA Cup fifth round, Ladbrokes shares its latest outright winner odds - with Arsenal tipped for glory ahead of Manchester City.
Man City are battling to stop Arsenal in the Premier League title race and the bookies are now fancying the Gunners in the cup too after their fourth-round games.
Arsenal's more favourable draw away to League One Mansfield could be a key deciding factor in the market, with City handed a more difficult task away to Newcastle in their bid to reach the quarter-finals. Premier League champions Liverpool are not far behind on 9/2, with Chelsea (6/1) and Newcastle (10/1) completing the top-five contenders.

Arsenal favourites for FA Cup win
All 20 Premier League sides entered the action in the third round but nine have now been sent packing, with Manchester United, Tottenham and Aston Villa the biggest casualties so far.
Arsenal and City were joint-favourites ahead of the fourth round and while both comfortably sealed progression in their respective ties against Wigan and Salford, it is the Gunners who are now seen as the favourites as they continue to fight on four fronts.
Mikel Arteta's men will be heavily fancied to avoid an upset and get the better of Mansfield in the fifth round and, while City will also go in as favourites in their game against Newcastle, it is undoubtedly a more difficult tie against a fellow Premier League outfit.
That is why Arsenal are now 11/4 to collect a 15th FA Cup triumph, though City are still just 7/2 for glory. Liverpool are the third favourites at 9/2 as they prepare to take on Premier League strugglers Wolves in the fifth round.
Chelsea have also been given an away trip to a Championship side in Wrexham and are 6/1 to win the FA Cup, with 2025 Carabao Cup winners Newcastle just further back at 10/1. Premier League sides Brentford and Leeds are next in line at 18/1, with Sunderland (25/1), Fulham (28/1), West Ham (33/1) and Wolves (50/1) all outsiders.
A host of non-Premier League sides are also bidding for what would be a famous triumph, including Southampton (100/1), Wrexham (100/1) and Norwich (150/1). Mansfield are the side in the fifth round with the longest odds at 250/1 after dumping Burnley out.
One of Port Vale (500/1) or Bristol City (150/1) will join those sides in the fifth round when they go head-to-head on Tuesday night.
