Editors' Picks
Pep Guardiola’s side won the tournament in 2018 as part of a domestic treble, and have also won the Carabao Cup four times in the last five seasons alongside three Premier League crowns in six years.
Chelsea are 7/2 (4.50) to go one step further than last year and win the FA Cup for the ninth time in their history.
The Blues have been in three of the last four finals but have only been victorious in one of those, and a piece of silverware inside his first six months would certainly go a long way to proving Thomas Tuchel was the correct choice to replace Frank Lampard.
Manchester United can be backed at 9/2 (5.50) to lift the FA Cup and give Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the first trophy of his tenure at the club.
Although the Red Devils are the second most successful side in the history of the competition with 12 titles, only two of those have come since their famous treble in 1999.
Who are the underdogs to win the 2020-21 FA Cup?
Leicester are 10/1 (11.0) to win the FA Cup for the first time in their long history, having previously lost in the final on four occasions.
The Foxes have reached the quarter-finals in two of the last three seasons, being beaten by Chelsea both times, but are the underdogs to book a trip to Wembley after being drawn against Man Utd in the quarter-finals.
Southampton are available at 12/1 (13.0) to lift the FA Cup for the second time, with major strides having been taken under Ralph Hasenhuttl as the club look to end what will be a 45-year wait for a major trophy.
Everton are enjoying a strong Premier League season and are 16/1 (17.0) to lift the FA Cup at Wembley.
The Toffees have won it five times in their history but their reward for having edged Tottenham 5-4 in the fifth round is being drawn against favourites Man City in the quarters.
Who are the outsiders to win the 2020-21 FA Cup?
Sheffield United are rock-bottom of the Premier League and look set to drop back down to the Championship, but are going well in the FA Cup and are available at 33/1 (34.0) to lift the trophy at Wembley.
The Blades will face Chelsea in the last eight of the competition, which will mark their first top-flight opponents of the tournament after previously beating Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle and Bristol City.
Bournemouth are the only Championship side left in the FA Cup and are 50/1 (51.0)to lift the trophy for the first time in their history.
They have already matched their best ever run in this competition, last reaching the quarter-finals back in 1957, and victory over south-coast rivals Southampton would see them book a place in the semi-finals for the first time.

After arriving as a second-half substitute, Smith Rowe had a red card rescinded for a tackle on Sean Longstaff in stoppage time following a VAR review.
The 20-year-old midfielder went on the score the opener as he latched on to a ball from Alexandre Lacazette inside the box before slipping it past Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Aubameyang also found the net from close range in the final minutes of extra time to extend Mikel Arteta's side's winning run to four games in all competitions.
'I was really happy, a bit of a relief for me with the incident before,' Smith Rowe told the BBC. 'It definitely wasn't intentional -- happy to get the goal and get through to the next round.
'We knew how tough it was going to be, they're a tough opponent. It was about breaking them down. It shows how together we are, we have been working off the pitch to get closer as a group and it shows.'
Arsenal, who have lifted the FA Cup a record 14 times, have failed to progress to the fourth round just once in the last quarter of a century.
Arsenal created the majority of the chances through forwards Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe but the hosts were denied an opening in 90 minutes at the Emirates Stadium.
Striker Andy Carroll missed the target for the visitors from inside the six-yard box in the 56th minute before his efforts on goal in stoppage time were brilliantly blocked by Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
'I thought Andy did fantastically well, if he had topped it off by scoring a goal it would have been good for him,' Newcastle manager Steve Bruce said.
'A lot of pleasing things, we've had a tough run of fixtures but we dust ourselves down and go again.'
The result left Newcastle without a win in seven games in all competitions.
Gabriel Martinelli missed the match after picking up an injury during warm-up, with Arteta pessimistic on the player's prognosis.
'I am gutted,' said the Spaniard. 'I was in my office before the game and one of the coaches came in and said that Gabi hurt himself, that he twisted his ankle.

'I went to the medical room and he was in tears. He was in a lot of pain and we are going to have to see how he is -- but he didn't look good. He was in pain, so I imagine we are not going to have good news with him.'
