The FA Cup last eight teams are heading to the quarter-finals on 20 and 21 March. They are all Premier League teams except one. We look at the 2021 FA Cup quarter-finals odds of each match and the favorites to win. If you are interested in placing a safe bet you may choose Man City and Chelsea as the likely winners. Whereas, the most thrilling game will be between Leicester and Man Utd, with no clear favorite. Online sportsbook news sites in the United Kingdom confirmed the four ties will take place across the weekend of 20 and 21 March. They have no home and away games. Instead, they are all so-called ‘sudden death’, with the winning team advancing to the semis while the loser faces direct elimination. The quarter-finals draw was held on 11 February. Man City received a ticket to visit Everton. Bournemouth was declared to meet Southampton in a local derby. Chelsea got the easiest game against Sheffield Utd. What is more, Leicester and Man Utd were announced to face off in the most anticipated match of the quarter-finals. So, here is our analysis of the 2021 FA Cup quarter-finals odds for each match.

Everton to host the City in a tough game

The all-north west tie at Goodison Park between Everton and Man City will be a tough one for the two sides. Everton rightfully reached the quarter-finals after coming through a nine-goal thriller against Tottenham. That game will likely be the most memorable of the season. With such a strong performance, they hope to capture a victory over Man City with 6.50 odds at 10Bet Sportsbook. On the other hand, the City that had a typical 3-1 win over Everton recently in the Premier League has all that it takes to repeat the win. The City won so far 19 consecutive games in all competitions, and the team is not slowing down. It is hard to bet against the City at this point except if Pep’s men face a sudden drop in their performance. Our recommendation is to put your trust in the City with 1.38 odds to win.

South coast derby will be exciting to watch

The south coast derby between Southampton and Bournemouth will be an exciting match to watch. Bournemouth is the only Championship side left in the competition and their odds stand at 3.90 to win against their neighbors. However, Southampton has had more impressive performances lately. Thus they are the favorites to advance to the semi-finals with a 1.86 value, as per online sportsbooks in the United Kingdom.

Chelsea will likely have an easy win over Sheffield Utd

Chelsea’s Tuchel was quick to turn things around after their legend Frank Lampard was sacked. They are now running with nine undefeated games in all competitions. Some of these games include impressive wins over Atletico in the Champions League and Tottenham in the Premier League. The Blues already played against Sheffield Utd twice in the Premier League and had big wins. Thus, it is likely that Chelsea vs Sheffield in the FA Cup quarter-finals will end with an easy win for Chelsea at 1.28.

Leicester vs Man Utd can go either way

The two PL rivals for second place will face off at King Power Stadium. Leicester and Manchester United have equal points in the Premier League. They met once in December, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw. It seems very clear that for now, it is impossible to separate these two sides. At the 2021 FA Cup quarter-finals odds Leicester values 2.70 to win, while Man Utd values 2.30.
