Summary
Jimbo, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams reflect on a captivating FA Cup quarter-final weekend.
It’s back-to-back defeats for Arsenal, overcome by a sensational Southampton from the Championship on Saturday. With their trophy hopes halved in the last two matches, is this the start of a dramatic collapse for the Gunners?
Can the same question be asked of Liverpool, who are thrashed 4-0 by Man City, with Erling Haaland taking home the match ball? The pressure piling on Arne Slot ahead of the Reds’ trip to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday.
West Ham stage an incredible comeback against Leeds but it’s Daniel Farke’s side who progress on penalties to a first FA Cup semi since 1987. Where they will meet Chelsea, who pummel Port Vale 7-0 at Stamford Bridge.
It’s also a big weekend in the EFL with Millwall moving into the automatic promotion places in the Championship. What would the Lions bring to the Premier League? Nick Hart from the Achtung Millwall podcast can tell us.
