The FA cup final has been won 9 times by the 'big four' teams in the last 10 years. The exception to this is in 2008 when Portsmouth won it. Chelsea have won it in 2007 and 2009. They will be hoping to win it in 2010 for the double.
Chelsea will be on a high after their 8-0 demolition of Wigan. A game which I think was a complete farce. However, Portsmouth will be looking to take something from their terrible season. Following their horrific financial issues and been relegated from the premier league, they will be looking to win the FA cup.
The prices, Chelsea at best price 1/6 to win the game outright. 11/2 approx on the draw. 12/1 + on Portmouth. Throughout the history of the FA cup, shocking results have happened, the team that has been given no chance of winning has often won it.
This is most definitely not a game to invest high stakes in but I believe a small punt ont he dog Portsmouth may be worth considering.
My pick : Portsmouth.
