Big three jostle for cup glory

-

THE FA Cup keeps producing the shocks as 10-1 shots Lincoln knocked Burnley out and Millwall, perhaps less surprising­ly, defeated Leicester. There is the potential for another tonight.

Lincoln, who were 2000-1 to win the cup at the start of the competitio­n, are now just 150-1 and should Sutton beat Arsenal tonight (for which they are 16-1) that price could drop even further.

We now have three co-favourites to win the competitio­n: Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are all 3-1 to lift the trophy with Spurs 10-3 and Manchester United 5-1.

Of the quarter-finals that we know the line-up for, Chelsea are the favourites to progress against United and Spurs are red-hot favourites to qualify at the expense of Millwall.

One big loser this weekend was Claudio Ranieri, left, who is just 1-2 to be the next manager to lose his job. All Leicester have to play for now (aside from Premier League survival) is the Champions League and if they suffer a heavy defeat against Sevilla, the pressure on his position will only grow.
