Manchester City favourites for FA Cup after fourth-round draw against Fulham

Manchester City won the FA Cup in some style last season, thrashing Watford 6-0 in the final, and they are 5-2 favourites to retain the trophy after being drawn at home to Sky Bet Championship side Fulham in the fourth round.

City, whose immediate focus is on Tuesday night's EFL Cup semi-final clash with Manchester United, are half the price of Premier League leaders and 5-1 shots Liverpool, who face a trip to the winners of the replay between Bristol City and Shrewsbury.

Chelsea were trimmed to 8-1 after being handed a fourth-round trip to Hull City but Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham will be away to Southampton if they win a replay against Middlesbrough.
