Aston Villa
Aston Vill are one of the most successful FA Cup teams having won the prestigious trophy seven times. However, they have only won it once since 1920, something current manager Alex McLeish will be looking to change.
Villa beat League Two side Bristol Rovers 3-1 in this season's third round and will now travel to the Emirates Stadium to play Arsenal in the FA Cup Fourth Round. McLeish's men can currently be found at 33/1 with Paddy Power in the FA Cup Odds.
