One of the most open FA Cup tournaments in years, no giantkillers left with all the remaining clubs being Premier League teams.

Been all Norwich in the first half. They really should be ahead. Man United look off the pace a little but I'd still expect them to win.

As a kid the FA Cup was my football highlight - many years later I now believe it was the one tournament that should not have re-started.

Didn't even realise the FA Cup was on this weekend! ?

Norwich V Man Utd - 17:30 - Live on BBC One

Game was entertaining in the second half before the red card. Disappointing/unsatisfactory end to it considering how it was poised with ten minutes left.

United for all their attackers didn't look like they had a plan other than throw everyone forward and even then a centre back gets a scrappy goal from being left upfront. Norwich never showed any confidence in holding out and give away a scrappy goal. Never held onto the ball, never broke away, never showed a threat, didn't clear a simple ball away from a centre back.

Arsenal has been on top in the first half despite fielding a weakened team and having David Luiz playing. Sheffield United have been poor since the return though. The Newcastle result, in particular, stood out. I wonder if they overdid it in training before the games started up.

Sheffield United were better in the second half but their goal was through a defensive clanger by Kolasinac. Not sure if Ceballos' goal at that angle was a nice finish or bad keeping.

Just looking at Leicester's results this year and it's getting grim. In 2020 they've only beaten Villa, West Ham and Newcastle in the league.

Not sure if Ceballos' goal at that angle was a nice finish or bad keeping.

A bit of both I think...nice finish in that he found the gap between keeper and post, but bad keeping in that the gap should never have existed in the first place.

If Man City progress then the semi-finalists will be Man United, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal.

I checked their form guide over the last 10 league games and the only teams below them are the current bottom 6 sides

I can see it being a Manchester derby with United winning, given Ole's record against the top sides this season.

I can't believe I typed that because I don't think Ole is a good manager overall but his record against the top sides is by far his strongest point.
