Chelsea remains 5-2 favourites with bookmaker Coral for the FA Cup, following today's fourth round draw. Man Utd are the 7-2 second favourites, ahead of holders Arsenal and Liverpool, both 6-1

[ClickPress, Mon Jan 09 2006] With three non-League teams still in today's draw, Coral offer 3-1 that at least one of them makes it to the fourth round, and 20-1 that any of the three makes it through to the fifth round.

"Despite the series of shocks we saw at the weekend, Chelsea look a class above their domestic rivals and remain the team to beat in this competition," said Coral spokesman David Stevens.

"Sunday's results in particular were the most bookie-friendly set of scores we've seen for a long time, and we'll be hoping for more of the same in the replays and again in round four," added Stevens.
