Blues eased for Cup as Birmingham force replay

CHELSEA are out to 5-1 with Ladbrokes to win the FA Cup following their disappointing 1-1 draw with Birmingham at Stamford Bridge.

Things could have been even worse for the under-pressure Andre Villas-Boas with Chelsea rescued by Daniel Sturridge's second-half equaliser to at least force a fifth-round replay at St Andrew's.

Juan Mata had a first-half penalty saved for the hosts, while the Championship travellers had been on course for a huge shock thanks to David Murphy's early goal.

Birmingham can be backed 66-1 to win the FA Cup with Boylesports, while Tottenham are the new favourites at 11-4 from 7-2 after Chelsea's struggles at the Bridge.
