The final eight have now been settled for the FA Cup following the midweek replays. Spurs played through a wealth of VAR confusion and snow at Wembley to put six goals past League One side Rochdale in their replay and that was following a cruise for Swansea at home against Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday the day before. So with both Premier League sides surviving their replays, it leaves just the one non-Premier League side in the mix, that being League One’s Wigan who knocked out favourites Man City.

So the quarter-final line-up for the FA Cup is now:

March 17th, 2018

Swansea v Spurs
Manchester United v Brighton

March 18th, 2018

Leicester v Chelsea
Wigan v Southampton

With the demise of Manchester City, it is their rivals Manchester United who are the 9/4 joint outright favourites at William Hill* (betting odds taken at 11:01 p.m. on February 28th, 2018) to get their hands on the title, alongside Tottenham. Spurs may well have a bit of advantage if they get through the next round with the semi-finals and final all being played at Wembley, which is where Tottenham are playing their home games this season.

Chelsea are 7/2* (betting odds taken at 11:01 p.m. on February 28th, 2018) to get the title, their only shot at domestic silverware and Leicester are the only other side of the eight that are in single figures, the Foxes trading at 9/1* (betting odds taken at 11:01 p.m. on February 28th, 2018) to lift the title for the first time ever in their history.
