Crystal Palace and Watford have taken their eye off the ball since reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Alan Pardew’s side go into Sunday’s showdown at Wembley Stadium after winning just one of their previous six games, while opponents Watford have one victory in five. Both sides also lost in midweek as key players were rested for the big event.

Palace are the favourites to reach the final with BetVictor. They are priced at 8-11, with Watford available at evens.

In tomorrow’s semi-final, BetVictor were forced to shorten the odds of Manchester United progressing to 4-7 after Everton were thrashed 4-0 at Anfield in the Merseyside derby.

United are also BetVictor’s 6-5 favourites to win the FA Cup, with Everton priced at 3s despite the fact Roberto Martinez is facing a fight to keep his job as manager at Goodison Park. Palace are available at 7-2 to go all the way and Watford are 9-2.
