FA Cup 2007 : 5th round draw
February 4th, 2007
Chelsea are now no bigger than 2/1 for FA Cup glory after they were handed another kind home draw in the last 16.
Chelsea face either Blackpool or Norwich in the last 16 of the FA Cup, which makes a quarter final spot a likely event and the price of 3.00 at Ladbrokes is attracting a bit of money.
Meanwhile Reading travel to Manchester United and the Red Devils are hugely favoured priced up at 3.50 at Ladbrokes while Reading are a huge priced 51.00 also at Ladbrokes.
Fulham host Tottenham and the home side are a big priced 34.00 at PremierBet while Spurs are at 11.00 at PremierBet to lift the Cup.
Arsenal or Bolton will replay for the right to host Blackburn, and the Gunners are on the drift now at a best-priced 7.50 at BetFred while Bolton are at 26.00 (also at Betfred) and Blackburn are 29.00 at VCBet.
In other ties – Bristol City who forced a 2-2 draw and replay against Middlesbrough – will be at home to West Brom in the fifth round if they can muster a win at The Riverside. Boro are joint 5th favourites at 26.00 at Coral Eurobet.
There is a potentially tricky tie on the cards for Manchester City, who must make the short trip to Deepdale to face Preston.
Watford are at home to Ipswich – while one Championship side is guaranteed to reach the last eight, after Plymouth were drawn at home to Derby.
The draw in full:
Arsenal/Bolton v Blackburn
Chelsea v Blackpool/Norwich
Manchester United v Reading
Fulham v Tottenham
Bristol City/Middlesborough v West Brom
Preston v Manchester City
Watford v Ipswich
Plymouth v Derby
The ties will be played on the weekend of February 17 and 18.
