After a sensational extra-time win over Bolton in the 4th round replay match last Wednesday, the rate of Arsenal has been shortened to 4/1 for winning FA Cup.
Abdoulaye Meite who was playing for Bolton scored his first goal of the season in injury time that turned match into an extra-time affair. Freddie Ljungberg scored a goal to take the lead and with a minute of added-on time left, Emmanuel Adebayor scored another taking the full advantage of some tired legs of Bolton. Arsenal made it safe then.
So, Arsenal 4/1 now in from 6/1 by VCbet. They are the 3rd favourite now following Chelsea at 2/1 and Manchester United at 5/2 respectively.
Betfair's market has seen the major three closely packed. Arsenals are available at 4.5 while Chelsea & United are at 3.6 and 3.75 resepctively.
Arsenal has already won the cup for four times after the joining of Arsene Wenger. Arsenal will play host to Blackburn in the last 16 on Saturday. At the same day, Chelsea will face Norwich & United will play against Reading at Old Trafford.
