Bookmakers back Leeds survival yet edge West Ham for FA Cup tie | OneFootball

Bookmakers see Leeds United staying up yet make West Ham slight favourites for the FA Cup quarter-final after the international break. Daniel Farke’s side have seven Premier League games remaining.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds visit West Ham on Sunday, April 5 in a 4.30pm kick-off at the London Stadium, then resume the league on the second Monday in April at Manchester United at Old Trafford at 8pm.

Early odds make West Ham a best-priced 29-20 for the tie, with Leeds at 9-5 and the draw 13-5. To go through, the Irons are 4-5 and Leeds are evens.

Even so, the market still hints at a Leeds last laugh by staying up, while West Ham remain in the league’s third relegation place, four points behind 15th-placed Leeds, and are still just about seen as going down. In a four-way scrap to avoid 18th, West Ham are third favourites for relegation at 5-4, behind Burnley and Wolves at 1-200.

Tottenham’s price to drop has shortened, as low as 5-4 with some firms and as big as 9-5 with others, shorter than Nottingham Forest and Leeds, who have both been given fresh backing. Forest, after a 3-0 win at Tottenham, are as big as 13-2, with Leeds out to 8-1. There is then a gap to Crystal Palace at 200-1, and bigger again to Sunderland and Brighton at 500s.
