The FA Cup was drawn right after last night's series, which ended early this morning. Only the match between Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield Town will have to wait until March 8 to get a result. The winning team in this match will face the mighty Liverpool in the quarter-finals.
Of these 4 matches, England captain Southgate will randomly choose 1 match to watch. He is in the sprint stage with England to prepare the best luggage for the World Cup.
Southgate shared that from now until the biggest football festival on the planet in Qatar takes place, the "Three Lions" will have 8 more matches to warm up the engine. knockout matches such as the FA Cup or League Cup will be watched very carefully by Southgate, thereby filtering more carefully the personnel for the tournament where the England team aims to win the championship after success at EURO 2020.
Back to the situation of the quarter-finals. Liverpool are too strong and the opponents are only Huddersfield or Nottingham. In the midst of the League Cup's excitement, The Kop will unleash what they can in the FA Cup with a large number of personnel, but many people have not played regularly.
Chelsea have dropped the League Cup to Liverpool, the Champions League is a long story and the Premier League has run out of opportunities. Therefore, the FA Cup is the number 1 goal at the moment. Middlesbrough may have beaten both Man United and Tottenham in the quarter-finals, but Boro's journey will have to end here when Chelsea's performance against Liverpool last Sunday was too classy.
Man City are expected to have some difficulties at St. Petersburg. Mary's against Southampton - a team that is not strong but has a habit of stopping tycoons. So'ton no longer have a target in the Premier League and if they stumble against The Citizens, it will be their most memorable point this season. On the contrary, on the other side of the front line, Pep and his students have never shown any giving up.
Man City are in an unstable form and really need their winning streak back to have good stepping up for the Champions League. Each defeat at this time will undermine the fighting will of the reigning English champions quite a lot.
The final, most balanced match between Palace and Everton. The Eagles are temporarily safe in the Premier League while The Toffees are still in danger. The FA Cup may be an over-the-top journey for both to win the championship, but in knockout matches, the aim will be placed higher and the ability to cause surprises will still be there.
A match of equal strength is expected to be the best pair in the FA Cup quarter-finals due to the uniformity of both sides.
