When is the FA Cup quarter final draw? Start time, live stream and how to watch on TV
The line up for the FA Cup quarter-finals is nearing completion following a thrilling weekend of games.
Brighton had to come from behind to knock out Newcastle in an end-to-end game at St James Park. Alexander Isak gave the hosts the lead with an emphatic finish before former Magpie, Yankuba Minteh, grabbed the equaliser. Que super sub Danny Welbeck who sealed the Seagull's progress with the winner in extra time.
Holders Manchester United, meanwhile, would seal a record-equalling 14th triumph if they can pull off a second Wembley mission in a row. Manchester City were bested by Erik Ten Hag's men last May and Ruben Amorim could do with a trophy win to quieten the noise around his future.
Pep Guardiola's side overcame a stubborn Plymouth Argyle at the Etihad as they look to avoid a rare trophy-less season under the masterful Spaniard. Many of the usual big guns - like Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal - have already exited the competition, giving the underdogs a spring in their step.
In-form Fulham will be confident of the deep run in the tournament. Meanwhile, Aston Villa will be desperate to cap Unai Emery's revolution with a trophy. Crystal Palace progressed after defeating Millwall 3-1 - but it came with a cost. Star striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was floored by a high boot from goalkeeper Liam Roberts. With the draw for the quarter finals looming, teams will be taken one step closer to trophy glory, with the winners also rewarded a spot in the Europa League.
