The first FA Cup draw since William Hill became an official supporter and the official betting partner of The FA Cup threw up a couple of tasty looking ties. The highest profile of which would seem to be the tie between Liverpool and Manchester United. Hills make Liverpool 11/8 the slight favourites to make it into the hat for the fifth round. United got an away win against Manchester City and they are 13/8 to win at Anfield. Liverpool are 8/11 to qualify with United Evens. It is 4/1 for the winner of this tie to win the trophy.

The other big tie of the round will see Sunderland taking on Middlesbrough in an all North East tie and Hills make Sunderland the favourites at 4/6 and 2/5 to qualify.

Following their victory against Portsmouth, Chelsea are the 4/1 favourites to win the Cup, with Tottenham 9/2 second favourites.

With a number of London teams still in the hat, Hills are offering 5/1 that two sides from the capital fight it out in the final. It is 66/1 for an all Merseyside final and 150/1 for an all North-East final.

“With Liverpool facing Manchester United, you would think that the draw is ideally suited for the London sides to stamp their authority on the competition,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With three Premier League teams (Bolton, QPR and Wolves) having to face third round replays, Hills offer even money that all three get through (8/11 that at least one of those teams are knocked out). Hills go 100/1 that all three Premier League sides facing replays are knocked out.

Dave Jones, speaking exclusively to William Hill, said “The Liverpool/Manchester United fourth round draw will be one of the biggest games in the competition’s history. It will be a tough away game for United, but as they proved today when they beat Manchester City, they have the quality to go to Anfield and get a result. It will however, be very tough for them as Liverpool have been resurgent under Kenny Dalglish.”

Hills then make West Ham 4/1 second favourites – and they are 5/6 to get off to a winning start against 7/2 Cardiff, with the draw 12/5.’Punters have lumped on these two big-time and we could do with neither of them winning the title – but we go 5/1 that they finish 1st and 2nd in either order, and fear the worst!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Ipswich 12/1 third favourites for the title and also offer: 16 Blackpool; Brighton; Forest; Southampton; 18 Middlesbro; Reading; 22 Cardiff; 25 Birmingham; 28 Brighton; Leeds.

William Hill have slashed their odds that Liverpool will NOT be handed a Premier League points deduction this season from 1/3 to 1/6 – and now offer 7/2 from 9/4 that they will do so. ‘Punters seem convinced that Liverpool will not have to face a points deduction and it does seem very rare for bigger clubs to suffer the same sort of fate as smaller fry like Portsmouth and Southampton, so we have lengthened the odds that Liverpool will have one or more points deducted this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
