Manchester United have been priced up as fourth favourites to win the 2016 FA Cup, ahead of Sunday evening's fifth round draw.
Ahead of the draw, the best price available on United to lift the trophy is 13/2 - with Betway, Betfair and Unibet. Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea are the clubs with shorter odds.
The Red Devils secured safe passage to the last 16 of the competition following a 3-1 victory at Derby County on Friday.
Wayne Rooney, Daily Blind and Juan Mata Garcia were on target for Louis van Gaal's men, with a win that relieves some of the intense pressure currently on the Dutchman.
United have not won the FA Cup since 2004; and triumph in the world's oldest cup competition would be a major achievement for the United boss as intense speculation continues about his future.
The lowest ranked side remaining in the competition are League One outfit Shrewsbury Town, who dumped Sheffield Wednesday out of the Cup on Saturday.
The Red Army will be hoping for a favourable draw; as the final eight ties are set to be lined up. The draw takes place at Stadium:MK, and the ball numbers are as follows:
1. West Bromwich Albion or Peterborough United
2. Leeds United
3. Arsenal
4. Manchester United
5. Reading
6. Liverpool or West Ham United
7. Manchester City
8. Shrewsbury Town
9. Watford
10. Everton
11. Crystal Palace
12. Blackburn Rovers
13. AFC Bournemouth
14. Tottenham Hotspur
15. Hull City
16. Chelsea
