Sports betting operators price up FA Cup markets.

Sports betting firms are offering a number of special FA Cup bets ahead of the upcoming fourth round fixtures.

With 16 matches involving 14 Premier League teams taking place over the weekend, William Hill has opened a market on the number of top-flight teams to qualify for the next round.

Twelve is the current favourite at 9/1, while six can be backed at 25/1 and just three is available at 500/1.

The betting firm is also taking bets on the highest-scoring match of this weekend's matches, with Chelsea's game against Ipswich Town on Saturday (January 24th) the favourite 11/2.

Punters expecting the Manchester United against Tottenham fixture to produce a flood of goals can get odds of 7/1, while Sunday's Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton is an outside bet at 20/1.

Ladbrokes makes Man United favourites to win the FA Cup at 3/1, with Liverpool priced at 6/1 and holders Portsmouth available at 28/1.
