The English football season has been underway for a few weeks now, which means it's time to rank our favorites to win the Emirates FA Cup this season.
The FA Cup is considered by many to be the most prestigious trophy in English football; some even rank it above the Premier League because of its history and significance. Every year, the FA cup treats us with fixtures that leave everyone shocked and give the spectators their money's worth.
Only last year we saw Middlesborough surprise everyone by defeating giants like Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs. The year before that we saw Leicester City winning the cup and breaking a chain of big-five wins.
It is because of these reasons that English football fans have a soft spot in their heart when it comes to the FA Cup, and everyone wants their team to make it to Wembley.
Given what we have seen so far, a number of clubs have emerged as favorites to win the FA Cup. Unsurprisingly, all these clubs are the Premier League top guns. If you believe your team can make it far into the FA Cup and make a run for the ages, you can place your bets on some of the bests sites listed on BetStation.
The best part about the FA Cup is that it gives every team in English football a chance to compete, meaning the League fans get to see their teams take on Premier League giants and even cause upsets sometimes.
Below, we look at the favorites to win the FA Cup this year based on their recent performances and squads.
Manchester City probably has the best squad in world football right now. The team is stacked everywhere on the pitch. The acquisition of Erling Haaland is proving to be a masterpiece, given how he has performed so far in a City shirt.
Experts, pundits, fans, and odd makers, everyone expects City to go all the way in the FA Cup this year and win the trophy.
However, football is an unpredictable game, and you never know what might happen but as things stand, everyone expects City to easily win the title and get their hands on the trophy.
- Liverpool
At the start of the season, Liverpool was the second most favored team to win the FA Cup, but from what we have seen so far, it looks like it will be a long season for the Merseyside club.
Saying that the club has underperformed would be an understatement given their losses to Manchester United and Napoli in the past few weeks.
The club has dropped a significant number of points in the Premier League this season, and the FA Cup might be their only chance at getting a trophy this season, meaning the team will give it their all to go all the way and win the trophy for a second consecutive year.
- Manchester United
The way United started the season, nobody thought the club would be able to challenge for any type of silverware, but in the past few weeks, the team has turned things around, and it looks like the FA Cup might be their target this season.
From the way things have gone, it is highly unlikely that Manchester United will be able to challenge for the Premier League, which makes the FA Cup a realistic target; it wouldn't be wise to count United out when talking about this particular trophy.
Arsenal has started the season off with a bang, but the club is now coming back to earth. After their loss to United, it became evident that Arsenal, like always, will most likely collapse at some point in the season.
The FA Cup is the only trophy the Gunners have won in recent memory; they won't give up without a fight.
Chelsea is going through a rough patch, and it remains to be seen if the team can bounce back this season or will it take a couple of seasons to see the Blues back on track again.
