Manchester City were the 5/2 favourites to win the FA Cup heading into the third round and had no difficulty easing past Huddersfield Town to reach round four. 
 
However, several football betting sites have pushed them out to 3/1 after they were handed a tough trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round. 
 
Liverpool were the most noteworthy movers in the outright market, with the bookmakers cutting them from 10/1 into 7/2 after their victory over Arsenal. 
 
A home tie against Championship side Norwich City will hold little fear for the Reds and further progress should be on the cards. 
 
Cheslea, who have reached nine of the last 20 FA Cup finals, have eased to odds of 10/1 after being paired with Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. 
 
Other notable fourth round ties include a Midlands derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United’s visit to Newport County. 
 
Maidstone United are the only remaining non-league side in the competition and face a tough task to progress any further after being handed a trip to Ipswich Town. 
 
League Two promotion chasers Wrexham could prove troublesome for Blackburn Rovers given they will be backed a massive following in Lancashire. 
 
The North Wales outfit made life difficult for Sheffield United at this stage of the competition last season and will fancy their chances of springing a surprise against the Championship team.
