FA Cup winners odds: Man City clear favourites with Aston Villa closest challengers

MANCHESTER CITY are clear favourites for FA Cup glory and clinch their only silverware of the season.

The competition – which City lost in the final last year – is City's only chance to lift a trophy after a disastrous mid-season campaign.

They safely negotiated their tricky quarter final tie at Bournemouth to set up a semi final date with Nottingham Forest.

Aston Villa or Crystal Palace will play the winner in the showpiece Wembley final.
