Let’s look at the teams who are most likely to win at Wembley at the end of this season:\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eManchester City 15/8*\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eManchester City lost the 2023-24 FA Cup final to Manchester United, going down 2-1 at Wembley Stadium. Despite City’s domestic dominance since their takeover, they haven’t been great in the FA Cup, winning it only three times since 2010/11.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eHowever, given that City are out of the Champions League and League Cup and are unlikely to retain their Premier League crown, Pep will probably take the FA Cup more seriously than usual.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThey have a tie against Plymouth Argyle to look forward to but will need to be careful, given that the Pilgrims have already knocked Liverpool out of the competition this season.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eNewcastle United 5/1*\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eIt’s surely only a matter of time before Eddie Howe’s energetic Newcastle United win a trophy. They were so close in the League Cup against Manchester United two seasons ago and have reached the League Cup final again this year, though Liverpool stand in their way.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eEddie Howe takes all cup competitions seriously and will play his strongest team when Brighton visit St James’ Park in the next round.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;At 5/1*, Newcastle are the second favourites to win the FA Cup this season. If they can avoid Manchester City in future rounds, the Magpies will certainly fancy their chances.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eManchester United 7/1*\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eHolders Manchester United are still in with a shot at silverware this season, but they will have to navigate a tricky home tie against Fulham if they’re to progress to the next round of the FA Cup.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eUnited’s home form has been abysmal this season, and while they should probably beat Fulham at Old Trafford in the fifth round, it won’t be straightforward.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eAt least history is on Manchester United’s side, as the club always tries to win the FA Cup, as proven by their 13 triumphs in this grand old competition.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eAlongside Arsenal, Manchester United are the most successful team in FA Cup history, and if they win it again this year, they will be the first team since Arsenal in 2014 \u0026amp; 2015 to win back-to-back FA Cups.\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eAston Villa 7/1*\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eAston Villa haven’t featured in the FA Cup final since the last-ever final at the old Wembley Stadium, in which they lost 1-0 to Chelsea in 1999-2000.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eVilla haven’t won the FA Cup since 1956-57, which was the club’s seventh FA Cup title. Like Newcastle, Villa have had to wait a long time for a domestic trophy, and given Unai Emery’s rejuvenation of Villa in recent seasons, 2025 could be the year that they lift the trophy.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThey have a straightforward home clash against Cardiff City in the fifth round, so they shouldn’t have any issues there. They will hope for the luck of the draw in the quarter-finals, too, and will hope to avoid a trip to Manchester or Newcastle if they’re to have a realistic chance of winning the FA Cup at the end of the season.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eBournemouth 8/1*\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eBournemouth have never won a major domestic honour.
