FA Cup quarter-finals referees confirmed

AFC Bournemouth, Manchester City, Brighton & Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest, Fulham, Crystal Palace, Preston North End and Aston Villa are the only sides left in contention for the FA Cup as we head into the quarter-finals.

Arsenal were the first Premier League giants to crash out of the tournament, losing out to Manchester United on penalties in the fourth round. Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs followed up after suffering defeats from Plymouth Argyle, Brighton and Villa, respectively.

Coming into the last 16, City and United were the remaining top six clubs in the competition. But the Red Devils were eliminated by Fulham after a dramatic penalty shootout, leaving Pep Guardiola's side, who claimed a 3-1 over Plymouth, on their own.
