Manchester City 20-1 to win trophy quadruple

Manchester City are 20-1 for the quadruple heading into their FA Cup fifth-round clash with Sky Bet League Two minnows Newport at Rodney Parade.

The Citizens, who are 5-4 shots for the trophy and as short as 1-25 to defeat the Welsh outfit and 1-66 to qualify, play German side Schalke in the Champions League on Wednesday before next Sunday's League Cup final with Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola's men have scored 22 goals in their last four domestic cup matches, five of which came in their dismantling of Premier League side Burnley in the fourth round.

Newport are 40-1 with Hills to inflict one of the biggest FA Cup shocks of all time while Sky Bet are 8-15 about City winning by three or more goals.

There are eight ties in the FA Cup this weekend and they will go to extra time and penalties if the scores are level at full time, with replays removed at this stage to help ease fixture congestion.

Manchester United and Chelsea are 6-1 and 13-2 in the outright market and meet in the tie of the round at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

Maurizio Sarri's men, who responded to their 6-0 drubbing by City with a 2-1 Europa League win over Malmo, are favourites at evens.

Frank Lampard's Derby are 15-4 to cause an upset at Brighton and Wimbledon, who knocked out West Ham in the previous round, are 3-1 to inflict defeat on Everton's conquerors Millwall at home in the other Saturday ties.

Arsenal are not in action this weekend but will be licking their wounds following their Europa League first-leg defeat to 7-1 shots Bate Borisov.

Unai Emery's men are 2-11 to overturn the 1-0 deficit and progress and have drifted to 13-2 to lift the trophy. Chelsea are 9-2 favourites.
