What are the big stories to look out for in the FA Cup quarter-finals?

United are aiming to reach the FA Cup final for the second consecutive year but face a tough assignment against Liverpool.

The Reds last won the trophy in 2022 and will be eager to build on their Carabao Cup final triumph over Chelsea.

Holders City are out to claim their eighth FA Cup crown and come up against a Newcastle side who last claimed the prize way back in 1955.

Elsewhere, Leicester and Coventry will look to emulate Sheffield United last season by reaching the semi-finals while playing in the Championship.

Chelsea and Wolves will have other ideas, though — the former looking to lift the trophy for the ninth time and end a run of six consecutive domestic final losses.
