FA Cup / Jamie "The Pacman" Pacheco / 12 January 2010 /

All the best of the in-running action on Betfair from tonight's FA Cup matches...

Two late goals in the FA Cup tonight rewarded long-odds draw backers and short-price layers as Cardiff City and Coventry threw away leads at the death. Cardiff were matched at just [1.05] on Betfair whilst leading Bristol City with the draw being backed at odds of 18. Meanwhile, at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry were backed at a low of [1.11] before conceding a last-gasp equaliser against Portsmouth that was good news for those who backed the draw at [9.8]. As if that wasn't enough heartbreak for Coventry City, Portsmouth scored again in the last minute of extra-time to secure their place in the next round, Aaron Mokoena scoring his first goal for the club.

The Premier League's most in-form team, Birmingham City, carried their super form into the Cup with a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest; the home win matched at [3.1] whilst the correct scoreline was backed at a high of [7.4]. City will now face Everton in the next round and are [44.0] to win this year's edition. Over at Loftus Road, two late goals by QPR almost caused Sheffield United to give away a 3-0 lead but the away team held on and rewarded those who got them at a high of [3.45].

Chelsea are still favourites to successfully defend the FA Cup at 4.7 with Arsenal (7.2), Liverpool (7.8) and Manchester City (8.2) seen as the teams most likely to challenge them.
