FA Cup Winner Odds 2022
This market takes into account every team in England who competes in the competition and provides outright odds to win the FA Cup. Each team’s FA Cup winner odds only take into account the team’s chances of winning it all. The winner must win every single match of the tournament, making every match crucial. This is why you should pick your team very carefully and take into account every possible variable.
Backing the favorites can also be a bad idea, with the top teams usually shifting their attention to the Champions League or other competitions, but with their odds remaining short. This is why value is usually found in good teams that the bookmakers don’t expect to perform very well. These teams usually have huge upside, and very high odds to win the FA Cup. The ‘to reach quarter/semi/final’ markets are also a good way to diversify your portfolio and increase your chances of being profitable.
The FA Cup outright winner odds usually come out sometime before the season starts but can change significantly depending on how the teams perform. This is why coming back periodically to check and adjust your bets is an excellent way to stay ahead.
Finally, the FA Cup outright winner odds market is available throughout the entirety of the season, meaning there is more than enough time to place and change your bets. There is no need to rush, which is why this market is very convenient.

The Favorites
- Manchester City FA Cup Winner Odds: 4.5 (Paddy Power)
Manchester City are favorites to win yet another competition, and the bookies also have them to win the FA Cup. The 2021/22 season was bitter-sweet for them, winning the Premier League, but losing to Chelsea both in the Champions League final along with the FA Cup semi-final.
Manchester City has won the FA Cup a total of six times, with their most recent trophy coming in the 2018/19 season.
Manchester City certainly have the roster to win trophies, but they’ll be fighting on three fronts in the coming season, and the question remains where they will falter. It’s a fact they will be pushing hard to win their first-ever Champions League trophy, and they will try to use this summer transfer period to find that last missing piece. Last year saw them finish the tournament by a narrow 0:1 loss, and you can bet they’ll be back with a vengeance. You can expect their odds to reach the FA Cup final to be at 2.25.
The Contenders
- Chelsea FA Cup Winner Odds: 7.00 (Bet365)
- Manchester United FA Cup winner odds: 8.00 (Bet365)
- Liverpool FA Cup Winner Odds: 8.00 (Bet365)
- Arsenal FA Cup Winner Odds: 13.00 (Bet365)
- Leicester FA Cup Winner Odds: 15.00 (Bet365)
- Tottenham FA Cup Winner Odds: 15.00 (Unibet)
The defending Champions League winners are coming into the season losing to win their ninth FA Cup. Their odds of being the FA Cup winners have them as second in line to lift the trophy, and it’s evident why. Tuchel already has an excellent roster of men at his disposal, and the only missing piece is a reliable consistent striker. Perhaps they will rely on Werner to get back into his goalscoring form after a disappointing season, or they will look elsewhere during the transfer period. One thing is certain, the club is standing on solid ground, and it will be the fine details that decide their fate in the coming season. Last year saw them make it all the way to the FA Cup final, but they lost to Leicester by a 0:1 result. Their odds to win the FA Cup reflect their overall quality, and they surely believe they can get the job done. Expect their odds to reach the FA Cup final to be at about 3.50 when they become available.
Manchester United had a solid 2020/21 season, but no trophies to show for it. They finished second in the Premier League, losing to Villarreal in the Europa League final, and exiting the FA Cup in the quarter-finals. They have been making moves in the transfer period, and Solskjaer will be pleased with his roster for the coming season. Last year’s FA Cup campaign saw them make it to the quarter-finals to face Leicester City. Unfortunately, after a hard-fought match, United lost by a 1:3 result and finished the tournament. The key thing for Manchester United this season will be consistency. They struggled to maintain momentum last year, losing key matches despite playing well overall. Their odds for being the FA Cup winner have them as the third team in line for the trophy. Manchester United’s odds to reach the FA Cup final should be at about 4.00 once they come out.
Much like United, Liverpool had a subpar season in terms of trophies. The team failed to defend their Premier League title last year and finished third in the standings after a difficult season. Their FA Cup road led them to the fourth round of the tournament to face Manchester United. Liverpool took the early lead, but their defense was unable to hold on and conceded three goals, and Liverpool lost by 2:3. Defense was one of their problems last year, conceding an average of 1.11 goals per match. This is an area they must improve upon, and they hope that the addition of Konate to their ranks will help strengthen their defensive line. That said, the coming season provides them a fresh start, and their odds for being the FA Cup winner have them as the fourth candidate in line.
Arsenal have won the FA Cup a total of 14 times, and hold the record for the most FA Cup trophies in history. They won the FA Cup in the 2019/20 season, but the following season left a great deal to be desired. Arsenal made it to the fourth round of the competition and faced Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium. Unfortunately, Arsenal conceded an own goal in the 24th minute, and their offense was unable to make up for the early mistake, only placing two shots on target for the entire match. Arsenal would like to use the summer to bolster their ranks and start the new season on a high note. They will have to improve their defense as well as their offense if they want to make a deep push in the cup. Their odds for being the FA Cup winner have them as the fifth favorite, and the bookies think that Arsenal can turn it around this year.
The defending FA Cup champions in Leicester are coming into the season as underdogs to repeat their success. They got the job done last year in the FA Cup and defeated Manchester City in the final with a 1:0 result. Leicester won their first-ever FA Cup in the club’s history, and they will be looking to repeat their success in the coming season. At this point, their odds to be the FA Cup winners provide a lot of value. They already have a solid squad, and their summer acquisitions can help them reach the next level and reach the top of English football again. The bookies don’t expect Leicester to perform well, and their FA Cup outright odds will shorten if they start the season on the right foot.
Tottenham had a disappointing 2020/21 season from the Premier League to the Fa Cup. They finished seventh in the Premier League standings after a difficult season, and their FA Cup campaign led them to the fifth round. They played well in the FA Cup prior to the fifth round but lost to Everton by 4:5. They took the early lead and their offense performed very well, but their defensive issues caught up to them. The Spurs defense conceded 1.18 goals per match on the season, hardly good enough to compete at the highest level. Despite not showing much last season, the bookies still have them in the top seven to win the cup, and bettors who are looking for value odds on the FA Cup winner should be wary
The Outside Chances
- Everton: 21.00 (Bet365)
- West Ham 26.00 (Bet365)
- Leeds 26.00 (Bet365)
- Aston Villa 26.00 (Bet365)
- Wolverhampton 41.00 (Paddy Power)
Everton’s 2020/21 campaign left fans wanting more, and the club will have to make some major changes if they want to be competitive this year. They left the FA Cup in the quarter-finals and finished 10 in the Premier League standings. Everton beat Spurs in the fifth round of the FA Cup by a 5:4 result and dished out one of the most entertaining performances of the season. Unfortunately, they had to face current Premier League champions Manchester City in the quarter-finals and lost by 0:2. With an average of 1.24 goals scored and 1.26 conceded last year, Everton are in dire need of reinforcements. Their FA Cup winner odds reflect their current situation, and Everton aren’t expected to make a very deep push this year.
West Ham made a significant improvement last year in the Premier League, jumping to sixth place, compared to 16th the previous year. They had a heartbreaking finish to the season, losing out on fourth place by a narrow margin. In the FA Cup, West Ham made it to the sixth round of the competition, only to be eliminated by Manchester United by a narrow 0:1 result. West Ham will need a significant improvement, especially on defense, if they want to win their fourth FA Cup and their first since 1979/80. They are a solid team, but if you are looking for odds on the FA Cup winner, avoid West Ham for now.
After 10 years in the Championship, Leeds finally made it back to the Premier League and proved that they belong. The team had mixed results throughout the season, just enough to place them ninth in the standings. Leeds won the FA Cup just once in the 1971/72 season, and last year’s campaign didn’t help. Leeds United faced Crawley Town in the third round of the competition and lost by 0:3. This isn’t the type of performance they need in order to get the job done. Their outright odds to win the FA Cup reflect their current state, and the bookies don’t expect them to get it done this year.
Aston Villa won the FA Cup a total of seven times in the club’s history, and last year got them no closer to getting their eighth. They made it to the third round of the tournament but lost to Liverpool by a 1:4 result. Their Premier League performance was solid, and the team finished 11th in the league standings. This was a major improvement from the previous year when the team finished 17th. Aston Villa scored an average of 1.45 and conceded 1.21 goals per match last year, and it’s safe to say that manager Dean Smith will have his hands full this summer. Their odds for being the FA Cup winners this year have them as the 11th team in line, and even that seems like a generous assessment.
Wolverhampton won the FA Cup four times, but their most recent trophy came in the 1959/60 season. Last season saw them make it to the fifth round of the competition, only to be eliminated by Southampton with a 0:2 result. They aren’t a team that can compete at the highest level at the moment, and their odds on being the next FA Cup winners have them as outsiders.
The Longshots
- Southampton: 51.00 (Paddy Power)
- Newcastle: 67.00 (Bet365)
- Brighton: 41.00 (Paddy Power)
- Norwich: 101.00 (Paddy Power)
- Crystal Palace: 67.00 (William Hill)
- Burnley: 81.00 (Paddy Power)
- Brentford: 81.00 (Bet365)
- Watford: 101.00 (Paddy Power)
Despite the fact that looking for value in the underdog is something that is generally a good idea, it’s not so with this group of teams. The difference in this situation is that the team isn’t expected just to hang in there and not lose, they have to win the entire tournament. This is why bettors who are looking at odds on the next FA Cup winner should be careful.
Southampton have won the FA Cup just once in club history, and it was in the 1975/76 season. They don’t have a team that can compete against the top clubs, and their odds to win the FA Cup agree.
Newcastle have six FA Cup trophies to their name, but the last time they went all the way was in the 1954/55 season. Newcastle haven’t been at the top for a while and it doesn’t seem like they can get it done this year either.
Brighton have never reached the top of the FA Cup tournament, and the bookmakers don’t expect them to do it this year either. They were near the relegation zone last season, and their odds to be the next FA Cup winners are slim.
Norwich have also never won the FA Cup, chances are they won’t make it happen this year either. They have been active during the transfer period, but their outright FA Cup winner odds still have them as big underdogs.
Crystal Palace never found much success in the Fa Cup, and last year’s third-round exit doesn’t help their odds to be the FA Cup winners.
Burnley have one FA Cup trophy in their shelves, but it came back in the 1913/14 season. Last year saw them make a fifth-round exit, losing to Bournemouth by 0:2. They will need to perform at a more consistent level if they want to have a shot at the cup.
Brentford are without a trophy in any competition, which is why the bookies don’t have them going all the way anytime soon. They made it to the fourth round last year but lost to Leicester by 1:3.
Another club looking for their first trophy, Watford made an early third-round exit last year losing to Manchester United by 0:1. They have been active during the summer period, but if you’re looking for value in odds on the FA Cup winner, Watford isn’t it.
The Unlikely
- Sheffield United: 151.00 (Paddy Power)
- Fulham: 126.00 (William Hill)
- West Brom: 151.00 (Paddy Power)
- Bournemouth: 151.00 (William Hill)
- Reading: 251.00 (William Hill)
- Nottingham Forest: 201.00 (William Hill)
- Cardiff: 201.00 (William Hill)
- Swansea: 151.00 (Bet365)
- Stoke: 201.00 (William Hill)
Sheffield United won the FA Cup four times, but their success dates back earliest to the 1925/26 season. Based on their recent performances, it’s safe to say they won’t be winning their fifth cup this year.
Fulham are one of those clubs that has never reached the top of the FA Cup, and relegation from the Premier League hasn’t helped their chances of making it happen this year. They will need to make some major changes if they want to compete any time soon.
West Brom are in a similar situation to Fulham, but the club won five FA Cups in its glory days. They will be looking to make a comeback this season, but it’s very unlikely.
Bournemouth made the quarter-finals of the FA Cup last season but were eliminated by Southampton by 0:3. They have never won the cup, and there is a reason why their odds to go all the way are so high.
Reading haven’t had much success in the competition so far, and last year’s 0:1 loss to Luton Town in the third round hasn’t helped their chances. They simply don’t have the quality to compete against the best teams in England.
Nottingham Forest certainly have a glorious past, with two FA Cups, and two European Champion Club’s Cups. However, their success is in the past, and they haven’t seen much recently. Their 1:5 loss to Swansea in last year’s edition has put their hopes of going all the way on hold.
Cardiff have won this competition once in the club’s history, back in the 1926/27 season, and haven’t enjoyed much success after. They finished last year’s campaign in the third round with a 0:1 loss to Nottingham Forest
Swansea have never lifted the FA Cup trophy, but the team made it to the fifth round of the tournament last year. Unfortunately, they faced Manchester City and lost by 1:3. They aren’t a club that has the quality to reach the top at the moment.
The final team on our list today is Stoke City. This team isn’t yet on the level to compete against the top English clubs, and their 0:4 loss to Leicester in the third round last year is a clear indicator of that.
