In an impressive 6-0 victory over Burnley, Manchester City secured their place in the round of four. Star forward Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick in the game, marking his second in five days.

Sheffield United defeated Blackburn 3-2 in a hard-fought match that saw Tommy Doyle, one of the Blades’ key players, score a stoppage-time winner. However, both Doyle and Jamie McAtee will not be eligible to play against Manchester City in the semifinals because loan players are not allowed to compete against their parent clubs in the FA Cup.

In another quarterfinal match, Brighton took on League Two Grimsby and came out on top with a 5-0 victory, securing their place in the semifinals. Manchester United faced off against Fulham and came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford.
