FA Cup Potential Third Round Shocks Odds:

Punters can bet on the third round of the 2025/26 FA Cup at William Hill and here are some of the standout prices for giant killings this weekend:

• Derby to beat Leeds – 16/5
• Wrexham to beat Nottingham Forest – 5/2
• Millwall to beat Burnley – 7/2
• QPR to beat West Ham – 4/1
• Middlesbrough to beat Fulham – 4/1
• Charlton to beat Chelsea – 11/2
• Sheffield Wednesday to beat Brentford – 9/1
• Shrewsbury to beat Wolves – 9/1
• Macclesfield to beat Crystal Palace – 9/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “FA Cup third-round weekend is one of the highlights of the English football calendar and, as ever, there is the real possibility of a number of giant-killings across the next four days.

“We’ve seen money coming in for fourth-tier Shrewsbury to beat Wolves – punters have latched on to the 9/1 price about the League Two outfit to overcome Rob Edwards’ struggling side.

“There are also some relatively short prices for other Premier League upsets, with Derby 16/5 to beat Leeds, Wrexham 5/2 to stun Nottingham Forest and Millwall 7/2 against Burnley”.

With Arsenal cementing their position at the top of the Premier League table on Thursday night, the Gunners could be found wanting as focus turns to the FA Cup. While they are clear favourites to beat Portsmouth on Sunday, the FA Cup has a habit of throwing up shocks and that is a match worth keeping an eye on.
