FA Cup Fourth Round Draw and Betting Update

The FA Cup fourth round draw took place this lunchtime. Several big name clubs have been drawn against each other but there are a host of third round replays to get through first.

The fourth round draw in full:

Arsenal v Bolton
West Ham v Watford
Bristol City or Coventry v Hull or Middlesbrough
Chelsea v Nottingham Forest
Chester or Ipswich v Swansea
Cardiff or Spurs v Southend or Barnsley
Barnet or Colchester v Peterborough or Plymouth
Birmingham or Newcastle v Reading or Burnley
Derby v Bristol Rovers
Sheffield Wednesday or Man City v Southampton
Crystal Palace v Preston
Manchester United v Portsmouth

Blackpool v Norwich
QPR or Luton v Blackburn
Wolves or Oldham v West Brom
Leicester or Fulham v Stoke


Re-arranged third round games will be played on January 9th. Third round replays will be played on January 16th and 17th.

Bookmakers reacted to the draw and the third round games by, unsurprisingly, making Chelsea the hot favourites on the back of their 6-1 drubbing of minnows Macclesfield Town. Close on their heels are Manchester United, after their last minute victory over Aston Villa, and Arsenal after their impressive victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
