Here's hoping Steven Gerard can knock Man Utd out of the FA Cup
 
My team Leeds have a tough tie away at West Ham.

Hoping that my hometown club Harrogate can spring another upset in this year’s competition and conquer Luton, it would be great to see a League Two (formerly Non-League) side in the fourth round and hopefully hosting a Premier League team.
 
Nice and easy for Man City as they defeat Swindon Town 4-1 and move into the next round.

Manchester United have been knocked out the FA Cup by Championship Middlesbrough after penalties
 
Utd will end up empty handed at the end of the season. No silverware only silver hair for Ronaldo. :klopp
 
Man U clearly reeling from the Greenwood saga. Team is still coming to terms with it. They need to bounce back quickly before it gets worse.
 
Manchester United 1-1 Middlesbrough (7-8 on pens): Anthony Elanga misses decisive penalty as hosts punished

Manchester United crashed out of the FA Cup with a 7-8 penalty shootout defeat to Championship side Middlesbrough following an incident-packed 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Anthony Elanga blasted the decisive penalty over the bar and into the Stretford End to spark wild Middlesbrough celebrations after the two sides had converted 15 consecutive spot kicks in a high-quality shootout.

United dominated the game for long periods before that, attempting 30 shots to Middlesbrough's six, but the tone was set for a wasteful performance when Cristiano Ronaldo dragged a 20th-minute penalty wide after a foul on the returning Paul Pogba.

Ralf Rangnick's side did take the lead shortly after that missed spot kick, Jadon Sancho collecting a long pass from Bruno Fernandes and firing home via a deflection (25), but they spurned a glut of other opportunities and were made to pay.

Middlesbrough's equaliser came in controversial circumstances when substitute Duncan Watmore miscontrolled a diagonal pass from Isaiah Jones inside the United box, causing the ball to bounce up onto his hand before he crossed for Matt Crooks to slide home from close range at the far post (64).

https://www.skysports.com/football/man-utd-vs-mboro/report/462177
 
Rangnick has improved performances on the whole and United have been climbing the league table, but last night in the cup was a very poor effort and even worse result, and my observation from this would be that even a highly rated coach and experienced man manager can only do so much with a squad that is clearly full of playboys and prima donnas.
 
<b>Chelsea 2-1 Plymouth</b>

Plymouth's Ryan Hardie missed a penalty late in extra time as Chelsea survived a huge scare to beat the League One side in the FA Cup fourth round.

Macaulay Gillesphey's early header from Jordan Houghton's cross sent the 6,000 travelling Argyle fans into delirium.

Chelsea deservedly restored parity through Cesar Azpilicueta's delightful flick late in the first half.

Marcos Alonso put the Blues ahead in extra time before Kepa Arrizabalaga saved Hardie's tame spot-kick.

After registering 41 shots and 20 corners, Chelsea were worthy victors but were pushed all the way by a resilient, hard-working and courageous Plymouth outfit.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was missing from the dugout after testing positive for Covid-19 on Friday, with assistant Arno Michels taking charge at Stamford Bridge.
 
<b>Kidderminster 1-2 West Ham (AET)</b>

Premier League West Ham overcame a huge scare in the FA Cup fourth round as they beat National League North Kidderminster Harriers in extra time.

The Hammers were two minutes away from being the first top-flight team to be knocked out by sixth-tier opposition in the cup's 151-year history.

Declan Rice levelled after 91 minutes, cancelling out Alex Penny's opener.

Jarrod Bowen completed the turnaround in the 121st minute.

The result was incredibly cruel on Kidderminster who led for 72 minutes against the team currently fifth in the Premier League table.

Russell Penn's side then held out for an additional 30 extra-time minutes and looked set to be heading for penalties.

After an even opening quarter, Penny side-footed home a loose ball following a wide free-kick, sending a packed, boisterous home crowd to fever pitch at Aggborough Stadium.

West Ham, who had eight changes, forced Kidderminster keeper Luke Simpson into a number of smart saves in the second half - but for much of the tie, the Harriers looked the likelier to progress.

England international Declan Rice was brought on in the second period and he stayed composed in the penalty area with seconds remaining, hammering home an equaliser to spare his side from an embarrassing defeat.

It was then one-way traffic in extra time and the Hammers completed their comeback when Bowen tapped in an Aaron Cresswell cross across goal.

— — —

West Ham *incredibly* lucky to get away with this one. Kidderminster deserved a run at the penalty shoot out at the absolute least, and arguably would have merited the win in normal time.

HT: Liverpool 0-0 Cardiff

Cardiff holding off at Anfield - epic stuff :)
 
Great effort from Cardiff for the first 50 mins or so, but they unfortunately have run out of steam a bit in the second half.

<b>Liverpool 3-1 Cardiff</b>

<I>Liverpool reached the fifth round of the FA Cup for only the second time in seven seasons as they saw off a weakened but spirited Cardiff City.</I>

The much-changed visitors, 20th in the Championship, dug in to frustrate Jurgen Klopp's men during a goalless first half in which they had an appeal for a penalty rejected after Mark Harris fell under a challenge from Ibrahima Konate.

Liverpool eventually made their domination count in the second half as Diogo Jota headed in from Trent Alexander-Arnold's free-kick.

New signing Luis Diaz came on to set up Takumi Minamino for the Reds' second, before Harvey Elliott marked his return after five months out injured with an elegant swivel and finish.

Substitute Rubin Colwill's powerful low drive gave Cardiff's large and noisy travelling supporters late reason to cheer, but it is Liverpool who will host Norwich City in the last 16.

<b>Nottingham Forest 4-1 Leicester City</b>

<I>FA Cup holders Leicester City suffered a shock fourth-round loss to east Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest in a pulsating game at the City Ground.</I>

Forest, eighth in the Championship, took the lead with a well-worked goal that saw Keinan Davis head down Brennan Johnson's cross and Philip Zinckernagel poking the ball past Danny Ward.

Within 30 seconds, the hosts had doubled their advantage, Johnson finishing after a terrible backpass from James Justin. It became 3-0 when returning captain Joe Worrall powered in a header at the back post from James Garner's corner.

Premier League Leicester were handed a lifeline when home goalkeeper Brice Samba made an error and that enabled Kelechi Iheanacho to roll the ball into an unguarded net, but they were not able to fight back.

Forest restored their three-goal advantage when Djed Spence raced through and slid the ball past Ward to set up a fifth-round home tie against fellow Championship side Huddersfield Town.

Most of the match was played in front of a superb atmosphere at a packed City Ground, although there was an unsavoury incident after Forest's third goal. A fan ran onto the pitch before being tackled by security, and police later made an arrest.

It was only in May when Youri Tielemans scored a stunning 25-yard goal as Leicester beat Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley as the Foxes won the FA Cup for the first time in their history.

But Brendan Rodgers' side tamely fell at this hurdle as Leicester followed Arsenal out of the competition after the Gunners had lost 1-0 at Forest in the third round.

However, in front of a crowd of 28,762, Forest were superb. Into the fifth round for only the second time in 17 years, they were not flattered by the winning margin against a side 10th in the top flight.

It could have been a different game had Iheanacho scored inside the opening five minutes, but instead fired wide. Forest, backed by vocal support from their fans, then took control inside a crazy five-minute spell midway through the half.

This was the first meeting between the two sides in almost eight years, but it was hard to tell which one played in the higher division.

Davis showed superb technique to volley against the Leicester bar before Zinckernagel's opener, with the visitors gifting Forest a second goal only moments later.

Worrall, back after a three-game absence with broken ribs last month, scored Forest's third in the 32nd minute - capping a stunning nine-minute spell that took the game beyond Leicester.

Samba's error, when he charged out of his box to challenge Iheanacho, gifted Leicester a 40th-minute goal and the Foxes started the second half brightly with James Maddison and substitute Patson Daka missing chances.

But the excellent Spence killed the game off in the 61st minute, sprinting through and firing home Forest's fourth.

It followed more abject defending that Rodgers will be unhappy about as his side's cup defence ended in disappointment.

Diaz looked good. With Norwich next Liverpool are looking good. Salah and Mane will also be returning soon.
 
Peterborough vs Man City 0-2

Manchester City were made to work hard by Peterborough United before sealing a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Riyad Mahrez put the Premier League leaders ahead with his side's first attempt on target before Jack Grealish scored his first FA Cup goal.

Peterborough, bottom of the Championship, should have taken the lead with the game goalless but Sammie Szmodics scuffed his attempt.

Six-time winners City will discover their last-eight opponents on Thursday.

City have now scored 103 goals in all competitions this season.

But Peterborough gave Guardiola and his players a scare before two goals - and two assists by Phil Foden - in the space of seven second-half minutes sealed City's passage.

Man City get the job done

City made six changes but still fielded a strong side which included the returning Zinchenko, handed the captain's armband by Fernandinho in a sign of solidarity and support.

It was Zinchenko's first game since his homeland was invaded by Russia and he held the Ukrainian flag on the pitch with Peterborough captain Frankie Kent before kick-off.

A message on the big screen read 'We Stand With Ukraine' and fans held up a banner which read 'Zinchenko: We Stand With You'.


Zinchenko, making his first start since 12 February, had a couple of early attempts but City's team of expensive signings and internationals failed to test keeper Steven Benda before Mahrez struck on the hour.

The Algeria winger had lots of work to do after receiving a pass from Foden but showed his quality by creating space for himself to break the deadlock.

Minutes later, Grealish showed why he is the most expensive British player of all time with a quality first touch to bring Foden's long ball forward under control before he rolled it beyond the keeper and into the net.

City turn attention to the Manchester derby

Guardiola batted away questions about a possible treble after his side's fourth successive away win without conceding in three different competitions.

Six points clear of nearest rivals Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, albeit having played one more game, City are approaching the business end of the season in a familiar position.

They also have one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals after establishing a 5-0 first-leg lead over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.

"I am not going to buy this argument," said Guardiola when asked about the prospect of ending the season with three trophies.

Next it is the Manchester derby at Etihad Stadium, where United have triumphed on their past three visits.

Crystal Palace vs Stoke 2-1

Jairo Riedewald scored a late winner as Crystal Palace beat Championship Stoke to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Palace led when Jean-Philippe Mateta's deflected shot landed to Cheikhou Kouyate, who hammered the ball into the top corner from six yards out.

Josh Tymon levelled for Stoke moments later after good play by Romaine Sawyers on his return from injury.

Substitute Riedewald slotted in the winner after Jack Bonham punched away Conor Gallagher's cross.

The draw for the quarter-finals will be on Thursday at roughly 19:45 GMT.

Palace - who handed a full debut to teenage Irish defender Tayo Adaramola - were made to work hard by Stoke in a close game that had very few clear-cut chances.

Steven Fletcher's ambitious volley in injury time was stopped by Jack Butland for the only save of the game by either goalkeeper.

One of the best chances saw Palace defender Joachim Andersen head Liam Moore's 20-yard lob off the line.

Palace boss Vieira, who won four FA Cups for Arsenal and one with Manchester City, is now only two games away from the first cup final of his managerial career.

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira to BBC Sport: "That's what we expected. It was really tough. It was a cup tie and we had to work hard to get the win.

"Today we were a little bit flat and we found the strength to score the second goal.

"We have to give them a lot of credit. They played really well. We weren't ready mentally for a cup tie and we found it difficult. We have to learn. We tried to change it in the second half, it was better.

"When we scored we thought the game was over but this is a cup tie."

Stoke City boss Michael O'Neill to BBC Sport: "At the very least [we deserved to go to extra time]. I think for a period in the second half we were the better team. There was very little in the first half.

"The first goal wasn't a corner. We have all the technology to see if it's a goal. Having seen it back, the Palace player's shot doesn't come off James Chester. We felt harshly done by.

"At 1-1 we looked the team more likely to win. Unfortunately we can't defend the corner. It lands to the feet of their lad. It comes through a crowd of bodies and ends in the bottom corner and that's why we're out of the cup."
 
Substitute Josh Coburn scored a fine winner in extra time as Middlesbrough stunned Tottenham to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Buoyed by a sell-out crowd at the Riverside for the first time in five years, Chris Wilder's side, who beat Manchester United in the last round, matched their Premier League opponents throughout and broke the deadlock in the 107th minute.

Coburn latched on to Matt Crooks' pass before the 19-year-old thumped an effort beyond Hugo Lloris and into the far corner from a tight angle.

Tottenham hope Antonio Conte is the manager to end their 14-year wait for a trophy but the north London club will have to wait at least another season.

As for Championship outfit Middlesbrough, they have now won eight games in a row at the Riverside but it is this victory the jubilant home crowd will remember.


Boro earn deserved victory

Middlesbrough beat Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford to reach this stage and Wilder said there was no chance of him resting players for the occasion, with opposite number Conte also naming the same Spurs side that beat Leeds 4-0 on Saturday.

The Italian is hoping to guide Spurs to a first trophy since they won the League Cup in 2008 but his side lacked the ruthlessness displayed at Elland Road against a well-drilled team who seemed to grow in confidence the longer they kept their top-flight visitors at bay.

Matt Doherty beat goalkeeper Joe Lumley to the ball out wide on the Spurs right, but could not loop an effort into the empty net from the best chance of the first half.

Middlesbrough midfielder Crooks scored in the fourth-round win over Manchester United and had a glorious chance to put the hosts in front after the break but headed over from Jonny Howson's in-swinging corner.

England captain Harry Kane then saw an effort ruled out for offside at the other end.

The chances in normal time were few and far between, with Isaiah Jones looking Middlesbrough's biggest threat and testing Lloris late on following a swift break.

Howson missed a header of his own after losing his marker from a corner and Son Heung-min could have won it for Spurs in stoppage time but nodded straight at Lumley as the game went to extra time.

From then on it was Middlesbrough who looked to have more energy and Marcus Tavernier forced Lloris into a low save, before Lumley was equal to a neat Son flick.

Then, in the second half of extra time, Wilder's side did find a breakthrough.

Teenager Coburn popped up with a fierce winner to send the Riverside delirious and put the hosts into the quarter-finals for the first time since 2017.
 
Kane needs to quit Spurs if he wants to win anything. For the sake of his career he must walk this summer. It seems that Daniel Levy knows how to push the right buttons to keep him at Spurs. Now approaching 30 years if he wants a big move it is now or never. Spurs will never be top contenders for the big trophies.
 
Brilliant performance by the Boro against Spurs. Fantastic to watch. :)
 
Takumi Minamino scored twice as Liverpool followed up their Carabao Cup triumph by beating Norwich to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time under Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds beat Chelsea on penalties in a gruelling and thrilling Wembley encounter on Sunday and showed their strength in depth by winning this fifth-round encounter at Anfield after making 10 changes.

Minamino, an unused substitute at Wembley, opened the scoring in the first half when he drove in from close range after being teed up by Divock Origi.

The Japan international made it 2-0 just before half time when he fired a great strike into the roof of the net after being left unmarked at a corner.

The visitors gave their impressive support hope late on when Lukas Rupp found himself in space to thump a fierce shot beyond Alisson.

The Liverpool goalkeeper then pushed over a powerful Jonathan Rowe strike as Norwich pressed but the hosts held on to secure their passage into the last eight.

Klopp's side have now beaten Norwich four times this season - home and away in the Premier League and in the EFL Cup third round, along with Wednesday's win.

It is also the first time in the Reds' history that they have beaten the same team four times in a single campaign.

FA Cup progress paving the way for quadruple?

Victory in Sunday's EFL Cup final means an unprecedented quadruple - winning the Champions League, Premier League and two domestic cups - remains a possibility for Liverpool.

The Reds have a 2-0 lead over Inter Milan from the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie and are six points behind Manchester City in the title race but winning the lot is something Klopp has, understandably, played down.

No English club has ever managed the feat. City came close in 2019 after winning a domestic treble but they were beaten by Tottenham in the quarter-final of that season's Champions League.

But while Klopp may play down a clean sweep of trophies, he will nevertheless be keen to win at least the FA Cup, given that it is a trophy that has so far eluded him.

Squad depth is going to be key to the Reds' hopes of challenging for multiple trophies and Minamino's display underlined just how much talent they have.

With Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and new signing Luis Diaz, the Reds have a plethora of attacking options - but despite that, Minamino has played his part this season.

He scored four goals in five EFL Cup games to help Liverpool on their way to the trophy and now looks to be doing the same in FA Cup, with his double taking his tally in the competition to three goals in three games.

Chelsea survived a scare against Championship side Luton Town to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals in a tie overshadowed by owner Roman Abramovich's decision to sell the Stamford Bridge club.

Abramovich made the announcement an hour before kick-off after growing speculation he would put Chelsea up for sale following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Chelsea's players were unaware of the developments before Abramovich made them public in his statement, and Reece Burke made their night more uncomfortable when he put the Hatters in front with a header following a corner after only two minutes.

Luton lost goalkeeper Jed Steer to an ankle injury after only 14 minutes, and Chelsea were level before his replacement Harry Isted had been on the field that long - with Saul Niguez steering home a cool finish.

Harry Cornick raced clear to restore Luton's lead before half-time but Chelsea turned up the pressure after the break to prevail despite an unconvincing performance.

Timo Werner finished coolly after collecting Ruben Loftus-Cheek's long pass in the 68th minute, then crossed for Romelu Lukaku to slide in and put Chelsea ahead for the first time 10 minutes later.

Chelsea make hard work of it

Confirmation Abramovich was leaving Chelsea was the talk of Kenilworth Road before, during and after a highly eventful FA Cup tie.

It was a hugely significant moment in the club's history, even though there was an air of inevitability given events in Ukraine.

Whether or not the news was still sinking in with Chelsea's players, they made the most sluggish of starts and were behind inside two minutes against a lively Luton side.

And it showed as they struggled for rhythm, even after Saul's equaliser - falling behind once more before Werner and Lukaku saw them through.

Those goals should be a confidence boost for both strikers given their struggles to establish themselves, and Tuchel needed them with Chelsea in trouble against lower-division opposition.

This night, however, was all about the plots and sub-plots surrounding Abramovich's departure, whenever that will be, and the mood of Chelsea's players at the final whistle was one of relief rather than celebration.

This was a throwback to Luton's better days in the top flight as a packed, compact Kenilworth Road carried all the ingredients for an FA Cup shock.

And Nathan Jones' Hatters did their best to provide it as they took Chelsea all the way, leading twice before running out of steam and falling to their visitors' greater quality.

Luton showed why they are in the Championship play-off places as they performed with real verve and energy that bodes well as they push for promotion to the Premier League.

There will be disappointment in defeat but also great credit because they matched their opponents for long periods, even threatening a shock until Werner and Lukaku stepped up to rescue Chelsea.
 
Southampton have a "super opportunity" in the FA Cup after beating West Ham to reach the quarter-finals, says boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

The Saints led when French left-back Romain Perraud swerved a screamer into the top corner from 30 yards out for his first goal in England.

West Ham levelled when Michail Antonio tapped in his first goal since 1 January after Willy Caballero punched a cross straight at Kurt Zouma.

But James Ward-Prowse's penalty gave Southampton the lead and Armando Broja added an injury-time third, cutting in with some great skill before slotting a shot into the far corner.

The penalty came after Craig Dawson brought down Broja just as the Saints substitute was about to shoot. Referee Andre Marriner initially missed it but gave the spot-kick after watching the incident on the VAR monitor.

"Making nine changes doesn't mean that we're not looking for this cup," Hasenhuttl told BBC Sport. "It's a super opportunity for us. But we shouldn't forget these players have brought us here.

"You can't speak about having a big squad and trusting everyone and not show the right signals. It was hard for them in the beginning with no rhythm playing in front of 28,000 fans."

West Ham lost Tomas Soucek to a bloody facial injury after he was caught by Ibrahima Diallo's elbow over the eye.

Southampton will discover their last-eight opponents on Thursday.

Saints' best chance of a trophy?

Southampton's win was especially impressive considering they made nine changes from their last Premier League game, and West Ham - above them in the table - only made two.

Last season's FA Cup semi-finalists look in great shape under Hasenhuttl and are now unbeaten in 12 home games, going back to September.

Their only major trophy was the 1976 FA Cup but they will be carrying hopes of more glory this season - and are now just one game away from another trip to Wembley.

"They deserve everything they got tonight," said BBC analyst Martin Keown. "They look formidable going forward in this competition right now."

Hasenhuttl put his faith in some of the fringe players with Irish midfielder Will Smallbone and goalscorer Perraud impressing.

"We are ninth in the Premier League and in the last eight of the FA Cup. We can dream," said Perraud.

"With these amazing fans I hope we can play at home in the next round."

Caballero, 40, even made up for his howler for the goal when he denied Dawson's header with a diving save in the 89th minute.
 
After the Carabao Cup win it was a bit of a struggle today for LFC in what was a much changed side. Taki won it for us with two good finishes before Norwich scored making it a tense finish. Now waiting who we get in the quarter finals. As i have a soft spot for Southampton for giving us so many players it is good to see them get through too. Bit of a struggle for Chelsea, all that matters is they too qualify for the next stage.

National League Boreham Wood's incredible FA Cup journey came to an end but not without forcing Premier League Everton to dig deep for their narrow fifth-round victory.

The Hertfordshire club have been the story of this season's tournament so far with their run but, despite a valiant effort roared on by thousands of travelling fans, they were undone by Salomon Rondon's two second-half goals.

The Venezuelan striker was set up by Seamus Coleman to steer in a shot just before the hour and then headed a second late in the game from a corner to settle the tie.

Richarlison also had the ball in the net, but saw his effort ruled out for handball by VAR, rubbing salt into still raw wounds from the penalty the Blues were denied by the technology against Manchester City at the weekend.

The result sets up a quarter-final tie at fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace for the Blues, who made six changes but still fielded a side strong enough to have produced a far more dynamic performance.

For much of the game they struggled as the visitors staged a masterclass in how to frustrate a superior opponent, defending with intelligence and dogged determination.

Wood departed the competition to cheers and with more than just gate receipts and television money in the bank.

There were also emotional scenes before kick-off, with both sets of players coming on to the field with Ukrainian flags in support of the country and its people following the invasion by Russia.

The theme to Z Cars - the traditional anthem by which teams come out at Goodison - then switched to John Lennon's 'Imagine', with the players holding aloft a banner together that read: 'Imagine all the people, sharing all the world'.

In another sign of solidarity, Everton's captain for the night was Ukrainian international full-back Vitalii Mykolenko.

Everton get business done ... just

Before the game, Boreham Wood manager Luke Garrard described it as a "free hit" - a no-lose game which his side could attack knowing everyone expected them to lose heavily.

The Wood boss is clearly smarter than that, though, as illustrated by the intelligent manner in which he set his side up to hamper the home side and play on their insecurities.

Operating with a flat back five, ably assisted by hard-working defensive midfielders, his team stopped a side full of internationals from hurting them for almost an hour.

Every fluffed shot, each misplaced pass and cleared cross was cheered on from an away end that then burst into song declaring that they were Wembley bound.

Rondon's second-half double ensured that would not be the case, while also sparing Everton's blushes.

There is no disguising that the home side were poor, but they did deserve their win, with Boreham's only real effort at goal a Tyrone Marsh shot after he had been gifted the ball by sloppy defending.

The Toffees could easily have added more to the scoreline by the end, with Richarlison's disallowed goal preceding another two efforts from the Brazilian, one brilliantly saved, the other blocked.

But with all due respect to the Toffees the evening was not really about them - Frank Lampard hinted as much in his programme notes by declaring it was "all business" for his side.

With that taken care of, the Blues players departed the field to leave the Boreham players and fans to bask in the romance and in a stunning run that left them just one stage short of matching Lincoln's record of being the only non-league side to reach an FA Cup quarter-final.

Nothing for Boreham to be ashamed about losing 2-0 to an EPL side. The big news is everyone's favourite side Liverpool will be playing Huddersfield or Nottingham Forest in the quarter final:asif.
 
Classy performance from Chelsea at Boro.

Eased to a 2-0 win and never needed to get out out of 2nd gear.
 
<b>Palace 4-0 Everton</b>

Crystal Palace booked a trip to Wembley with a comfortable victory over Everton in their FA Cup quarter-final at Selhurst Park.

First-half goals from Marc Guehi and Jean-Philippe Mateta put them in full control before Wilfried Zaha and Will Hughes secured the win, as the hosts' verve and attacking purpose overpowered a poor Toffees side.

Such a heavy defeat looked unlikely as Everton made a ferocious start, almost taking the lead inside the first minute through Michael Keane before Richarlison tangled with Guehi but was ruled to be offside.

However, after Everton's Andros Townsend was forced off with an injury, the hosts settled down and Guehi put them ahead on 25 minutes with a powerful header from Michael Olise's pinpoint corner.

Everton's poor marking almost cost them again moments later as Zaha got across Godfrey to meet Mateta's byeline cross, only to fire narrowly wide.

With half-time looming, Palace made it 2-0. Eberechi Eze combined with Zaha, who reversed roles with Mateta, crossing low for the striker to finish emphatically past Jordan Pickford.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin was summoned at half-time by Everton, but there was no immediate upturn in fortunes for Frank Lampard's side, who lacked ideas and energy.

Zaha made the result sure 12 minutes from time, slamming home the rebound after Olise's looped shot came back off the post.

And, after a VAR check for handball, Hughes compounded Everton's misery with a close-range finish in the closing stages.

FA Cup semi-final draw: Man City v Liverpool, Palace v Chelsea

Manchester City will face Liverpool in a mouth-watering FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Crystal Palace, who beat Everton 4-0 and have never won the competition, play last year's beaten finalists Chelsea in the other game.

Liverpool had to work hard against Nottingham Forest but eventually progressed thanks to Diogo Jota's goal.

Chelsea won 2-0 at Middlesbrough on Saturday, while Manchester City picked up a 4-1 success at Southampton.

Carabao Cup winners Liverpool are chasing a quadruple this year, while Premier League leaders City are in the hunt for a treble.

"We have Watford, Benfica, City, Benfica, City, [Manchester] United and Everton (after the international break)," said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

"From a Liverpool perspective these are all massive games and we try to play them one at a time and not all together.

"We knew before the game City would be the opponent if we wanted to go to the final anyway. Now here we go.

"The further you go in whichever competition the more likely you are you will face City at one point.

"I don't think we are the dream draw for anyone, but it will be a tough tie and we have to make sure it will be tough for City as well.

"But there are a lot of games to play before that."

The semi-final ties will both be held at Wembley on the weekend of 16 and 17 April.

<b>FA Cup: Chelsea set to have full support at Wembley semi-final</b>

Chelsea can now expect to have full support at their FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace at Wembley.

The Football Association (FA) says there have been talks with the government on amendments to the club's operating licence.

It would allow tickets to be sold as normal for the game, which is due to be played on the weekend of 16-17 April.

Chelsea are currently banned from selling new tickets due to sanctions against Russian owner Roman Abramovich.

The 55-year-old's assets were frozen by the government on 10 March because of his alleged strong ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin. Abramovich has denied having these links.

Abramovich put the club up for sale on 2 March, five days after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The club were unable to sell their entire 4,500 ticket allocation for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Middlesbrough and it meant they were backed by around 700 supporters who had got their tickets before the sanctions were imposed.

But an FA spokesperson said English football's governing body hopes to have sell-out crowds at both semi-finals.

"This includes tickets for Chelsea supporters for their match against Crystal Palace," the spokesperson added. "We are working with the government on a method to achieve this whilst respecting the sanctions that are currently in place on Chelsea."

Earlier, Julian Knight, the chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee, called for changes to the special licence imposed on the Stamford Bridge club.

"Chelsea is more than just its owner, it's a living organism with huge importance to its fans and community," Knight said.

"It was understandable that, at short notice, last week's game against Middlesbrough went ahead without Chelsea fans.

"But with this much notice, the FA have no excuse for excluding them. The FA must be allowed to sell tickets to Chelsea fans so long as all money goes to the people of Ukraine."

Meanwhile, the other semi-final between Manchester City and Liverpool is still set to go ahead at Wembley despite no trains running from either city to or from London from 15 to 18 April because of engineering works between Euston and Milton Keynes.

The FA says it is liaising with both clubs and working with Network Rail and National Express to find a solution "so that supporters of both teams are able to travel to and from the fixture with as minimal disruption as possible".

Malcolm Clarke, the chair of the Football Supporters' Association has criticised the timing of the works.

"While fans appreciate the need for work on the railways it would make sense to avoid the FA Cup semi-final weekend given the numbers travelling," he said.

"The semi-finals have featured at least one team from the north-west every year since 2011, so it was hardly unexpected that this could happen.

"The FA, clubs and rail authorities must work together to ensure the absolute minimum disruption to supporter journeys at the semi-finals."

Liverpool and Manchester mayors want FA Cup semi-final switched from Wembley

The FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester City should be moved from Wembley, say the mayors of both cities.

The game is scheduled to take place on the weekend of 16 and 17 April.

However, engineering works mean no trains are running from either city to or from London from 15 to 18 April.

Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, and Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram both say the game needs to be at a "more accessible stadium".

In a joint letter to the Football Association, Mr Burnham and Mr Rotheram said: "Without quick, direct trains, many people will be left with no option but to drive, fly, make overly complex rail journeys or book overnight accommodation.

"When you factor in the rising costs of fuel, it is clear that supporters of both clubs attending this game will face excessive cost and inconvenience - and that is before any environmental impact is considered.

"There are also significant logistical and safety considerations. With thousands of fans making the long journey south, there will be huge numbers converging on the M6, which is likely to be stretched to capacity by bank holiday traffic.

"A single accident would risk the entire motorway being brought to a standstill and fans missing the kick-off."

The pair said they understood the engineering works had "been scheduled since 2019 and that the FA was explicably made aware of them last autumn".

They added: "Over the last year, we have heard the slogan 'football without fans is nothing' many times. If this decision is left to stand, and people are either priced out of this game or unable to attend for other reasons, those words will be meaningless to many.

"We believe the most obvious solution is to move the game to a more accessible stadium and offer to work constructively with you to make that happen."

Prior to the letter, the FA said it was liaising with both clubs and working with Network Rail and National Express to find a solution "so that supporters of both teams are able to travel to and from the fixture with as minimal disruption as possible".

The other FA Cup semi-final is between London clubs Chelsea and Crystal Palace so there is no issue over the venue.

<b>FA Cup: Liverpool and Manchester City fans to be given 100 free buses for Wembley semi-final</b>

The Football Association is to provide 100 free buses for fans attending the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester City at Wembley.

Fans of both clubs and mayors of the respective cities had asked for a venue change given no trains are running from either city to London that weekend.

However, the game, being shown live on BBC One, will go ahead at Wembley on Saturday, 16 April at 15:30 BST.

"Unessential roadworks" will also be paused to aid journeys, the FA said.

"The FA recognises the significant challenges that are being faced by some Liverpool and Manchester City supporters with train services being severely limited," an FA statement added.

The FA has also pledged "a number of free return bus services" for Manchester City fans attending the Women's FA Cup semi-final away to West Ham at 12:15 BST on Saturday.

Unlike the men's semi-finals, which are both held at Wembley each season, the women's semis are not held at a neutral venue.

City's trip to West Ham will be live on BBC One, while Arsenal's game at home to Chelsea at 12:30 BST on Sunday, 17 April will be shown on BBC Two, with both semi-finals also available on BBC iPlayer.

<b>FA resists calls to switch semi-final venue</b>

In a joint letter to the FA, Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham and Liverpool counterpart Steve Rotheram had said keeping the game at Wembley would cause fans "excessive cost and inconvenience".

They argued a lack of train services, due to engineering works, would "price fans out of the game" and lead to extra journeys on motorways already "stretched to capacity by bank holiday traffic".

However, the FA has resisted calls to switch the venue, instead attempting to minimise travel disruption through talks with Network Rail, National Express and National Highways.

The free return bus journeys "will ensure that up to 5,000 Liverpool and Manchester City supporters will be able to travel to Wembley Stadium free of charge", their statement said.

"Hundreds of miles of unessential roadworks will be put on hold to help supporters enjoy the occasion and enhance their journeys," the FA added.

Places on the free buses must be pre-booked with the clubs involved.

Both FA Cup semi-finals have been played at Wembley since the refurbished stadium opened in 2008 - before that, the semis had been held at neutral Premier League grounds.

The other FA Cup semi-final is between London clubs Chelsea and Crystal Palace so there is no issue over the venue. That semi-final will take place on Sunday, 17 April, with a 16:30 BST kick-off.

If we beat Palace, I'm really not confident anymore in winning these finals. Our record in domestic cup finals since we won the capital one cup / carling cup in 14/15 has been terrible.

16/17 losing to Arsenal, 18/19 losing to Man City, 19/20 losing to Arsenal again, 20/21 losing to Leicester, 21/22 we've lost to Liverpool, and we've been favourites or even in odds to win in most of these. Hopefully we can turn it around but something seems to be up.
 
It is 753 minutes since Mohamed Salah's last goal in open play for Liverpool but there is still absolutely no chance I would leave him out of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City.

Ignoring penalties, Salah has not found the net with any of his past 38 efforts at goal over the past two months but he has to start at Wembley because he is a match-winner, and he has earned the right to play in big games like this one even if he is on a bad run.

I agree that he hasn't been playing as well as he can do, but let's not forget that since the 29-year-old Egyptian joined Liverpool in 2017, he has set standards with his goalscoring numbers above anything we thought could be possible.

We are judging him against his own ridiculous record and the fact his statistics over the past two months are more ordinary does not change the fact he is capable of scoring remarkable goals that no-one else on the pitch can, whoever the opposition are.

That in itself is enough of a reason to pick him, but on top of that you have to remember the effect his mere presence will have on City.

Regardless of whether Joao Cancelo, Nathan Ake or Oleksandr Zinchenko play at left-back for City this weekend, they would fear Salah at all times.

They all love to get forward themselves but they know that, when they do, they are leaving the Premier League's best goalscorer behind them. That is a very different dynamic to anyone else they could go up against in Liverpool's team.

While Salah didn't score at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, he still had a huge impact on the game, not least with his perfect pass for Sadio Mane to make it 2-2 at the start of the second half.

I am expecting more of the same this time, and it would not surprise me at all if Salah actually scores the winner, because he has done it so many times before.

Liverpool need their expert link-man too

It is not just Salah whose place is in doubt. Jurgen Klopp has got some big decisions to make about who gets into his front three, because of the competition for places that first Diogo Jota and now Luis Diaz have brought to their attack.

Jota got the nod over Roberto Firmino to start against City last weekend. But I think what happened in that game means we might see more of Firmino this time.

Like Diaz, Jota has been a wonderful buy but neither of them can do the job that Firmino does for the team in keeping hold of the ball and getting it up the pitch.

Jota got his goal against City, of course, but he also gave up possession a few times when he dropped into deeper areas to try to link play up.

Firmino is by far their best player at doing that and there were a few times on Sunday when it was very obvious he wasn't there, in the pockets that he usually operates in.

It meant Liverpool lost the ball, and you cannot do that against a team as good as City and expect to keep getting away with it.

There are pros and cons, whoever you pick. Jota is obviously much more of a goal threat - Firmino's scoring record is nowhere near as good - but if you go with his strength there, you miss out on what Firmino gives you outside the box, and vice versa.

Given the way the game is likely to go, and how important it will be to compete with City in the middle of the pitch, I think Firmino's reliability at linking up Liverpool's play will see him get the nod.


Subs will play a big part too

Salah and Mane both began Wednesday's home Champions League game against Benfica on the bench and only came on for the last half an hour or so, on a night where the Reds were always comfortably ahead on aggregate.

In contrast, City had to travel to Madrid for a really intense encounter with Atletico where they got tested and pushed right to the limit until the very end.


The fact that Liverpool were able to rest and rotate their squad more than City did in midweek might only make a tiny difference to how things go this weekend, but it will be a factor.

There is no way the tempo will be any less fierce than Sunday's was, and players will tire as the game goes on.

It doesn't mean you write City off, because we know how much quality they have got in their squad and the consistency they have shown with their high levels of performance over what is now a period of several years.

I also feel talk of fatigue can sometimes be overestimated anyhow because, as a player at this stage of the season, whether for Liverpool or City, you are playing for your place in the next game. You don't want to rest; you want to play as much as you can.

Even so, when the teams are as good and as closely matched as these two are, then you look for any area where one can have an advantage - and Liverpool being even a little fresher probably makes them slight favourites this time.

For both teams, though, how they use their substitutes is going to be vital, not even from a tactical perspective but from a physical one.

The decisions will be: When do you change things, who do you change and how do they impact the game?

Whichever manager gets that right - whether it be Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola - is probably going to win the game, because I'd be amazed if a substitute didn't affect the outcome of this semi-final in a big way.

De Bruyne and Walker a doubt for FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is unsure whether Kevin de Bruyne and Kyle Walker will be fit to play in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, which is live on BBC One.

The pair were substituted after suffering leg injuries in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg tie at Atletico Madrid.

They have not trained since returning to England.

"We will see [on Saturday] about De Bruyne and Walker," said Guardiola.

"He [De Bruyne] has stitches in his calf, it is not a muscular injury. Walker had a big twist but is getting better."

Guardiola did have more positive news on defender Ruben Dias, who has returned to training having been out since March with a thigh injury.

Manchester City are playing just three days after they drew 0-0 in Madrid to secure a 1-0 aggregate win and progress to the Champions League semi-finals.

The squad has been training at Championship side Millwall to cut down on travelling distances between games.

"It is exhausting to travel from Manchester to London," Guardiola added.

"The people in the club tried to find somewhere near the ground, this is why we used Millwall."

Manchester City and Liverpool played out a hugely entertaining 2-2 draw in a top-of-the-table clash in the Premier League last Sunday.

Both sides are battling to win multiple trophies this season and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp says his side will treat Saturday's game like a final to ensure they remain in the hunt for as much silverware as possible.

"You have to go all-in," said the German, whose side overcame Benfica in midweek to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

"Imagine now if we would play against City and would think, 'Yeah, maybe we can do a little bit less there, there a little bit less'. No.

"Against City you always have to see it as a final but now it is the semi-final, it means it's the only way to get to the final and we actually want to go there."

Liverpool will assess Diogo Jota after he picked up a knock in the 3-3 draw with Benfica on Wednesday, otherwise the Reds have no other injury or suspension concerns.

Chelsea will face Liverpool in the final after an impressive 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.

Loftus-Cheek and Mount with the goals.
 
Chelsea set up a second Wembley meeting with Liverpool this season as they overcame Crystal Palace's stubborn resistance to reach the FA Cup final.

Liverpool won the Carabao Cup final on penalties in February but Chelsea will have the chance for revenge as second-half goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount underlined their supremacy.

Unlike the first semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester City, chances were at a premium until substitute Loftus-Cheek, on for the injured Mateo Kovacic, broke the deadlock with a deflected shot after 65 minutes.

Palace had their opportunities, Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saving well from Cheikhou Kouyate in the first half, but they could not come back after Mount slipped a low finish beyond Jack Butland with 14 minutes left.

Third time lucky for Chelsea?

Chelsea have deservedly reached their third successive FA Cup final and will now hope to reverse recent history after losing the previous two to Arsenal and Leicester City.

Manager Thomas Tuchel has a remarkable record in reaching domestic and European finals since his appointment and Chelsea will be formidable opponents for Liverpool, who are in search of a historic quadruple.

Chelsea had to work had for their triumph but they showed patience, organisation and then quality to take control after half-time.

By the end, Chelsea were in complete command and only some generosity in front of goal from substitute Romelu Lukaku, who struck the post when it seemed easier to score, and the otherwise excellent Timo Werner prevented a scoreline that would have been harsh on Palace.

Chelsea may be surrounded by turmoil off the pitch amid the sanctions against owner Roman Abramovich, but a winning mentality persists on it and the players showed admirable powers of recovery following the disappointment of their Champions League quarter-final elimination by Real Madrid.

And if the EFL Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool earlier this season is anything to go by, the FA Cup equivalent will be a tightly-contested affair between two high-quality sides.

Palace on the right track

Palace manager Patrick Vieira and his players were understandably devastated at the final whistle but the Eagles' performance here, and over the season as a whole, gives great cause for optimism.

Vieira has squad boasting several emerging young talents playing attractive football, although they were required to show a more pragmatic side here as they contained Chelsea well until their former loanee Loftus-Cheek struck with an effort that took a slight deflection.

There was no way back for Palace after that but, backed by truly magnificent support, they give the impression of a well-run club on the right lines under an astute manager with an excellent structure around him.

Danger man Wilfried Zaha was just too isolated to make an impression but the key component missing was the guile, quality and exuberance of England midfield man Conor Gallagher, who was unable to play against his parent club.

Defeat will hurt, but Vieira and Palace can nevertheless be delighted with the progress the club is making.
