Newcastle into 6/1 for FA Cup

Newcastle United put an end to Chelsea's dream of an unprecedented quadruple by winning 1-0 at St James' Park. Patrick Kluivert scored the winner after just four minutes following good work from Lauren Robert.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The Magpies were one of three teams identified by bettingchoice before the third round as capable of winning the FA Cup. Available initially at 20/1, the best price now is just 6/1. The headline selection for the competition had been Chelsea. Also taken to go far in the competition at 20/1 were Spurs who are into 9/1, although will have to overcome a replay at Nottingham Forest to progress. Tottenham were held to a draw on Sunday by the struggling Championship outfit. Favourites to retain the FA Cup are Manchester United at 7/4 after they overcame Everton at Goodison Park in the late Saturday match. Arsenal are second in the betting despite having to face a tough replay at Sheffield United. Making decent progress in the competition are Bolton (10/1 with VCBet). The Trotters have no requirement for a replay as they beat Fulham at the first attempt. Two other Premiership teams who do need another attempt to make it into the last eight are Blackburn (20/1) and Southampton (25/1). Rovers face bitter rivals Bolton at Ewood Park, while the Saints face a difficult replay at Brentford.
