With Chelsea the favourites after the fourth round draw, Joe Dyer rounds up the pick of the fixtures with the latest odds.

Manchester United's reward for beating their noisy neighbours this afternoon is a trip to probably their fiercest rivals, Liverpool.

The mega-clash at Anfield means that, despite not enjoying the finest of debut seasons, Chelsea -- who will travel to play the winner of the MK Dons-QPR replay -- occupy favouritism in Betfair's FA Cup winner market at [5.1].

Next up are Tottenham ([6.4]), the 3-0 conquerors of Cheltenham, who are clearly considered a solid bet to progress into the last 16 despite being drawn at Watford.

The odds suggest United are fancied to get past Liverpool given they trade at [7.2] compared to the Anfield club's [11.0] quote.

Between those two are Arsenal, the only other side to trade in single figures at [9.6]. The Gunners round out the third round games at home to Leeds United on Monday night. The winner of that tie will play a home game against Aston Villa.

After the Premier League big guns are a clutch of solid performers from the top-flight. Newcastle can be backed at [18.0], Sunderland at [22.0] and Stoke at [23.0].

Swindon's reward for beating Wigan is a trip to either Nottingham Forest or Leicester.
