True!

But for some other teams, the FA Cup is their only chance of silverware....

Manchester City 3-1 Plymouth
Crystal Palace 3-1 Millwall
Preston 3-0 Burnley
Bournemouth 1-1 (5-4 pens) Wolves

Full FA Cup quarter-finals draw

Fulham v Crystal Palace

Preston v Aston Villa

Bournemouth v Manchester City

Brighton v Nottingham Forest or Ipswich

Aside from 2023 victors Manchester City, Ipswich are the most recent FA Cup winners (197cool left in it.

Fulham, Palace, Bournemouth and Brighton have never won the cup.

Indeed…City are a shadow of their former selves…Pep was jumping up like a kid in a candy store when they eventually took the lead…the young right wing back Nico O’Reilly looks promising though…was clearly the man of the match although he came on as a sub and only played 45 minutes…

Nico is a truly talented player. Jamaican heritage as well.
