FA Cup

Phil Foden's brace eased Manchester City to a 3-0 victory over second-tier Bristol City as they moved into the sixth round but Leicester City's hopes of ...

Fulham's magnificent season continues under Marco Silva with the Cottagers still chasing a European qualification spot on two fronts. The FA Cup was an opportunity to get to a quarter-final, against a Championship team at home, but they were a lot better than us, and we have to be worried about that." That's been too up and down for us," Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said. It's been a real challenge for them this season. The second half was much better," Guardiola said. "It was really tough.

Manchester City brushed aside their Championship opponents, winning 3-0 thanks to a Phil Foden double and a late strike from Kevin De Bruyne.

Phillips rattled the crossbar with 63 seconds on the clock with a shot from outside the box and although the hosts then settled Manchester City took the lead on seven minutes. The longer the hosts stayed in the game, the more they grew in belief. Guardiola’s opposition scout advised him to expect an awkward evening and the Spaniard finished his homework on the Championship side poring over some clips on the flight south to Bristol on Tuesday. It did not stop Pearson and Guardiola, who were in deep in discussion at full time, chewing the fat over a glass of wine. The sight of De Bruyne and Rico Lewis booting the ball clear amid second-half pressure told part of the story. Scott was one of five academy graduates to start and two more arrived from the bench.

Phil Foden was in danger of becoming one of the forgotten players at Manchester City this season but maybe not anymore.

In the second half, there were five U.S. Leicester can now focus all its attention on staying in the Premier League. Brighton advanced to the quarterfinals for the fifth time in its history and the first time since the 2018-19 season, when the team lost to Man City in the semifinals. City has reached at least the semifinals in five of the last six seasons. Foden scored in each half in City's 3-0 win at second-tier Bristol City in the FA Cup on Tuesday, helping the team secure a place in the quarterfinals. De Bruyne curled in City's best goal of the game in the 81st from outside the area.

Modern football decrees that the league is king but there is something uniquely tingling about a cup run coming over the horizon.

For Gracia, reaching the FA Cup final began with a win at Woking and him trading a bottle of Sangria for a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale with Woking’s manager, Alan Dowson. He was on the fence, Elland Road was electric, Leeds were in the quarter-finals and a cup run took hold without anyone truly seeing it coming. The interest was such that the Yorkshire Evening Post captured photographs of people with no tickets sitting on the roof of a nearby building. They were Division Two play-off finalists and semi-finalists in the FA Cup, a club on a roll.

Manchester United look to keep their quadruple hopes alive as they take on West Ham in the FA Cup Round of 16, as one of just three Big Six clubs remaining ...

By expected points, West Ham should be ninth in the Premier League table. Take him to make his mark in front of net instead, despite the somewhat less appetizing value. West Ham are a very difficult team to figure out this season. Garnacho's total of 0.36 expected goals (xG) per 90 minutes this season maybe doesn't sound like much, but when compared to Rashford's mark of 0.45, it looks a lot more dangerous. Man United have won four of those five games. It isn't a shock to see multiple players rested in this competition. West Ham received a blow that Lukasz Fabianski will be out for a significant time with fractures to his cheekbone and orbital bone, meaning Alphonse Areola is the new starting goalkeeper for the foreseeable future. Instead, they're just slightly capped at about 2/3 moneyline odds, while West Ham are 4/1 underdogs to win outright in 90 minutes of regulation.

West Ham are in the midst of a relegation battle and David Moyes will be wary of his squad sustaining any injuries. Rashford, however, could be rested throughout this match given the spate of fixtures United will be forced into as they push for titles on all fronts. [Who will win the FA Cup?

West Ham United: Kurt Zouma has returned back to training but the defense will take a hit without Lukasz Fabianski in net. If they're able to keep that up, this will be a simple advancement to the next round of the FA Cup. They'll need more where that came from to defeat United but a strong showing in this match can give David Moyes' side confidence to get away from the relegation zone. Marcus Rashford was suffering from fitness issues before the EFL Cup final before ultimately being able to go, but with so many matches, is this one that he starts from the bench? Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are long term absentees while Anthony Martial will be back in the fold soon. West Ham will feel confident coming into the match after the attack finally woke up behind Danny Ings while facing Nottingham Forest.

The Red Devils, who recently won the EFL Carabao Cup against Newcastle United, will try to stay in contention to find the other silverware in the Premier League ...

Despite their poor run in the Prem, West Ham is still in contention for the UEFA Europa Conference League. West Ham is just 16th in the Prem but 12th-placed Crystal Palace has just a four-point advantage over them. In the Prem, West Ham has just got one win and three draws in 12 away games. This match will serve as West Ham’s third challenge in the FA Cup. West Ham has been in and out of the relegation zone, but they now currently enjoy a two-point buffer over the bottom three teams. Antony and Rashford were on the scoresheet in the game versus Everton, in addition to a Conor Coady own goal. West Ham last lifted the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999 and an additional trophy after 24 years will be relished by the London squad. Aside from their Carabao Cup victory, Man U got a 2-1 win in the Europa League knock-outs to eliminate Spanish giants FC Barcelona. Second-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton will overtake David De Gea in the post between the goal sticks. For Man U’s first game this March and a coveted silverware on the line, Erik Ten Hag will try to survive this one without some familiar faces in his rotation. Casemiro and Marcus Rashford found the net for the Red Devils. [Manchester United](/tag/manchester-united) and West Ham United.
