7/5 Man City

7/2 Liverpool

7/1 Chelsea

8/1 Man U

11/1 Newcastle United

More immediately, how do the bookies rate Newcastle United chances on Saturday?

Well, the relevant betting market here is the odds on which of the two clubs will qualify for the semi-finals, so this covers whether you win in 90 minutes, or extra time, or on penalties.

Man City are 1/10 big favourites, whilst Newcastle United are 5/1 to qualify.

So basically, the bookies see Newcastle’s chances as a roll of the dice, a one in six chance…
