14-1 for Premier League clean sweep in FA Cup

ONLY one Premier League team – QPR against Sheffield United – suffered FA Cup elimination at the hands of Football League opponents in the third round of the FA Cup and most of the big boys are expected to make smooth progress in round four.

A maximum of 13 top-flight teams can make it through to the last 16 and it’s 14-1 with bet365 that all of them progress, starting with Manchester United at League Two Cambridge on Friday.

Punters can get 10-11 about 11 or 12 Premier League teams qualifying for the fifth round as bookmakers brace themselves following last weekend’s record losses as favourite after favourite dotted up.

This weekend’s most popular accumulator is likely to focus around United and supposed home bankers Chelsea (versus Bradford), Manchester City (v Middlesbrough), Liverpool (v Bolton), Southampton (v Crystal Palace), Tottenham (v Leicester) as well as Arsenal for their trip to Brighton on Sunday.

That seven-fold pays just over 10-1 with BoyleSports, while adding West Ham for their televised trip to Bristol City takes the multiple over the 20-1 mark.

All of the top ten in the Premier League – those eight mentioned plus Swansea (at Blackburn) and Stoke (at Rochdale) are favourites for their ties which has left the competition devoid of any huge clashes at this stage.

The ten-timer pays in excess of 80-1 with Coral and bet365 rate Chelsea 3-1 favourites to be the highest-scoring Premier League outfit in round four.
