With several Premier League heavyweights advancing, fans can expect a thrilling set of matchups as the competition enters its decisive stages.
At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal will lock horns with Crystal Palace in what promises to be a fierce all-London encounter. Mikel Artetaโs men cruised past Brighton with a 2โ0 victory on Tuesday night, thanks to goals from young midfielder Ethan Nwaneri and star winger Bukayo Saka.

Chelseaโs journey continues with an away fixture against Championship side Cardiff City. The Blues, who edged past Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round, will be aiming to avoid a cup upset as they make the trip to Wales. Cardiff, on the other hand, will be hoping to capitalize on home advantage and pull off a surprise against the London giants.
The last quarter-final tie will see Pep Guardiolaโs Manchester City take on Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. City, known for their dominance in domestic cup competitions, will look to secure another semi-final berth, but Thomas Frankโs Brentford have already proven capable of upsetting bigger teams in knockout football.
