FA Cup on Betfair: Favourites Arsenal handed home tie in fifth round draw

Arsenal are the favourites to defend the FA Cup

Mike Norman tells us who got who and the latest odds to lift the trophy following tonight's FA Cup fifth round draw...

FA Cup favourites Arsenal were handed a home tie against Championship highflyers Middlesbrough in tonight's fifth round draw.

Arsene Wenger's men, aiming to win the FA Cup for the second season in succession, were available to back at around 3.613/5 on the Exchange immediately following the draw.

The Gunners certainly won't take Middlesbrough lightly however after Aitor Karanka's men beat a strong Manchester City side 0-2 at the Etihad Stadium in one of Saturday's shock results.

Bradford City, who provided one of the competitions greatest ever upsets when beating Chelsea 2-4 at Stamford Bridge, will host either Sunderland or Fulham who must replay at Craven Cottage next week.

Second favourites Manchester United - available to back at 4.216/5 - will travel to League One side Preston or Sheffield United should they come through their replay against League Two outfit Cambridge United next Tuesday evening.

Also emerging from the draw are two definite all-Premier League ties as midlands rivals Aston Villa and Leicester were paired together, while West Brom will host in-form West Ham. Derby will host Reading in the fifth round's only all-Championship tie.
