Just look how many Premiership teams are left! The Utd - Arsenal game certainly looks tasty, should be a right battle. Chelsea, like usual, get another easy home tie. Chelsea are my picks to win the cup again. That’s what makes the FA cup so special, smaller teams giving the big boys a run for their money. Just look how many Premiership teams are left!

Liverpool struggles to beat non league sides and somehow manages to continue to draw the lowest possible opposition still on the table...?! And other teams draw PL club after PL club after PL club. And their achievement by reaching the final would somehow be considered equivalent??? Last year, Man Utd drew ALL top flight teams, while Chelsea had cream puffs like Macclesfield Town, Norwich City, and Forrest. Those Blues surely deserved to lift the trophy.
