On Tuesday night, Southampton were in action, as they welcomed Championship side Stoke City to St Mary’s. The saints when 2-0 up thanks to Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Adam Armstrong, before their visitors pegged them back to 2-2. Still, a late goal from James Bree was enough to give Russell Martin’s side a 3-2 win, and set them on their way to the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, Brentford were also in action at home to a Championship side, as they hosted Sheffield Wednesday. Thomas Frank went with a strong team, though they were held to a 1-1 draw, as a second half equaliser cancelled out Kevin Schade’s opener. After nine perfect penalties, Liam Palmer missed for the visitors, and Brentford went through to the quarters.

Onto Wednesday night, where in the earlier kick off, Liverpool managed to overcome Brighton and Hove Albion with a 3-2 win at the Amex Stadium, despite their hosts fighting back twice. All three Liverpool goals came from their left-wingers, with a brace for Cody Gakpo, and a goal for Luis Diaz. Simon Adingra and Tariq Lamptey scored for Brighton.

Newcastle got their revenge from the weekend, as they overcame Chelsea with a 2-0 win at St James’ Park. Two goals in four first half minutes was enough, thanks to Alekander Isak, and an own goal from Axel Disasi.

Arsenal managed to overcome Championship opposition, as they overcame Preston North End with a 3-0 win at Deepdale. Highly rated teenager Ethan Nwaneri scored the pick of the goals, in between strikes from Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

In their first (and possibly last?) game under interim manager and club legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Manchester United saw off Leicester City with a 5-2 win at Old Trafford. Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro both scored braces, with Alejandro Garnacho also scoring. Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady netted for the visitors.

Crystal Palace continued their good week, as they beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park, with goals from Eberchi Eze and Daichi Kamada either side of a Jhon Duran goal. It was not all sunshine and rainbows for Oliver Glasner’s side, however, as Eze and Adam Wharton had to be withdrawn in the first half.

Finally, Spurs bounced back from their defeat to Manchester City, by beating Manchester City 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr had given the hosts a 2-0 lead, before Matheus Nunes got one back on the stroke of half time.

The quarter finals will be the first time in fourteen years where the eight teams remaining all play in the Premier League. Southampton will host Liverpool, Spurs will host Manchester United, Arsenal will host Crystal Palace, and Newcastle will host Brentford.
