Newcastle United's FA Cup hopes written off by the bookies before a ball is kicked

Newcastle United have been handed odds of 100/1 to win the FA Cup this season by bookmaker Bet Victor.

The Magpies are deemed major underdogs to get past the holders Arsenal in round three and not expected to repeat last season's run to the last eight when they were knocked out by Manchester City.

Having been paired with the Gunners, Newcastle will have their work cut out to be in the hat for round four with Bet Victor seen as one of the favourites to win the cup again at 10/1.

Although, it is the side that Arsenal beat in the semi-final last year in Man City that are classed as favourites at 7/2.

A Bet Victor statement read: "BetVictor have revealed Manchester City as favourites for the competition at 7/2.

"Pep Guardiola's men are ahead of both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea who are both 6/1, with neighbours Manchester United priced at 8/1 alongside Liverpool.

"Cup holders Arsenal are priced at 10/1, with Everton 16/1.

"Meanwhile non-league Marine, who are the lowest placed side left in the competition, can be backed at 10,000/1 alongside Boreham Wood, with Chorley and Stockport County both 7,500/1."
