Onana penalty was a greatest miss that I saw recently
he had a chance to secure passing through for Everton and his shot was more a pass to keeper than a shot

Fulham was up in first half, although Everton was a bit better, but late goal by Beto equalized score, and game ended as draw, so penalties were taken
one miss for Fulham, and Onana had all in his foot, but didn't use it, and Everton falled out after 8 penalty series

Chelsea passed against Newcastle on penalties, and will meet Middlesbrough
Liverpool is playing tonight with West Ham

The Quarter-final games will start soon with three matches that will be played today and one tomorrow.
First match is between Everton and Fulham in Goodison Park which is the advantage that Everton have. Additionally they have a good record in their latest games at the opposite of the beginning, yet I find Fulham a little bit better at the opposite of bookies where Everton are favourite in this match with 1.8 vs 3.8 for Fulham.
In the second match we have two random teams and it appears that Middlesbrough will win this game. Then there is the best match where Newcastle will face Chelsea in Stamford Bridge. I know that both teams are lagging in English Premier League but the odds difference is quite big with Chelsea @1.7 and Newcastle @4.3. Even though Chelsea is the host, Newcastle aren't that weak!
The last game will be played tomorrow with Liverpool favourite at home against West Ham United thought.

These were the results from the games played yesterday:

West Ham United 3-1 Arsenal  
Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool  
Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn Rovers  
Everton 3 0 Burnley  
Ipswich Town 1-3 Fulham  
Manchester United 0-3 Newcastle United

 
Chelsea won the game but their form is inconstant, maybe Pochettino will get the balance right in the coming games and they will go on a winning run. Congratulations to West Ham United after the beat Arsenal 3-1 in a game that was set up for Arsenal to win with a very strong squad.

Also, Newcastle United have been playing excellent football, they dominated the game when the beat defending Carabao Cup champions Manchester United.

Isn’t it time for Ten Hag to face the reality that Manchester United overachieved last season by finishing 4th place in the Premier League and by winning the Carabao Cup? He has lost the trust of the players and his tactics are simply not good enough.

Two games were played yesterday where Port Vale and Middlesbrough qualified. Lucky EPL opponent that they will face in the next phase.
Today's matches are more interesting especially West Ham - Arsenal and Manchester United - Newcastle. I find Arsenal favourite since they didn't lose any of their games from quite long period. In the other match, both Newcastle and Manchester United aren't well but ManU is performing bad lately. I am not fully confident to support Newcastle, it is just that ManU is playing randomly that make me feel they are the underdog here.
For the remaining matches, Liverpool, Chelsea, Fulham should pass and for the Burnley and Everton, I think Everton might get lucky here.

It was a beautiful victory to West Ham to scored three goals to defeated Arsenal, and to make many people lose their prediction from the match because they thought Arsenal can use the same power they use to achieve victory from premier league competition in this EFL league. West Ham really prove to their fans how strong they are in this season by achieving three goals for the strong team which is an evidence that they have improve through the help of their manager who is trying to give his best to the team in this season. Chelsea did a great job to defeated their opponent 2-0 for the favour of Chelsea, because they took a good lead in the first half 1-0 that gave them the opportunity to achieved the second goal in the second half to embraced the victory from Blackburn rovers.

Arsenal surprisingly are fielding a strong squad for tonight's fixture, what is more surprising is that majority of the players did not feature in the EPL weekend match, showing that they are building some strong squad depth with their recent acquisitions. Arteta will need to manage the squad well to keep the players happy and also introduce the new players into the team at a decent time.

Liverpool made more rotations cause they are playing a weaker team and have a better chance to win.

I predict the expected teams to win tonight, including Chelsea and Newcastle.

@un_rank despite the changes Arsenal lost and your predictions about Chelsea and Newcastle came true as both the teams manage to win their respective game’s. Furthermore now Ten Hag is only few games away from being sacked because every match shows zero progress, zero idea’s and his egoistic desire to stick with his favourites and thus he won’t be able to hold on to his position for long now.

Bournemouth to beat Liverpool? Nah, I doubt that Bournemouth have what it takes to beat the current Liverpool team given the number of quality (both attack, midfield and defence) that Klopp has at his disposal to deploy. Even Liverpool's B team is looking strong.
It is a knockout competition, a cup competition therefore anything can happen. I hardly ever get surprised nowadays when a smaller team knocks out a bigger team because the so-called magic of the cup is not limited to the FA Cup. Sure, on paper it seems as though Bournemouth have no chance but I would not write them off.

But I can't say the same for Chelsea or Man Utd. Arsenal might hold their own against West ham but I expect West ham to give them a run for their money (the EFL is like West ham's one of their very few title prospects so they'd want to take it seriously).

TLDR: Liverpool upset vs Bournemouth? Not likely but this is football. Chelsea likely, man utd likely, Arsenal very likely.
I also expect West Ham to go at Arsenal without fear because they really have developed in a good team. Moyes has allowed that mentality to become to big they won the Europa Conference League 2023 therefore are a team going place. I do not think Rice was worth £105 million but Arsenal paid it. West Ham enough money in hand now to buy suitable players that can take them towards a top 7/8 finish in the Premier League as well as a possible domestic cup final.

I think there will be some cup upsets along the way. What are the odds Bournemouth will beat Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers will defeat Chelsea and West Ham United will defeat Arsenal? What about the Manchester United vs Newcastle United game, that will be another good game to watch as it is featuring the finalists of the 2023 Carabao Cup. I expect Manchester United to win that game and I expect West Ham United to beat Arsenal too.

Let's see if Newscastle and West ham can do well to eliminate both Manchester United and and Arsenal. I have no problem if Newcastle eliminates another Manchester team...
Arsenal managed to get a victory from Brentford, well that was expected but when I see Manchester City leaving soon when facing Newcastle United that was quite surprising, especially that Newcastle isn't that solid as last season.
Everton kicking Aston Villa was the other unexpected result.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool
Chelsea vs Blackburn Rovers
Everton vs Burnley
Exeter City vs Middlesbrough
Ipswich Town vs Fulham
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
Mansfield Town vs Port Vale
West Ham United vs Arsenal

Liverpool
Chelsea
Everton
Fulham
Manchester United - Newcastle, I will go with Newcastle for obvious reasons
West Ham - Arsenal, I will go with gunners
The other 2 matches are random for me.

Let's see if Newscastle and West ham can do well to eliminate both Manchester United and Arsenal. I have no problem if Newcastle eliminates another Manchester team (bonus for Liverpool). Given the current teams still left, I won't say it would be anneasy one for Liverpool. Any of these teams (including Chelsea) can still pull an upset against Liverpool.

Which team do you think will win the tournament? Manchester United are the current champions but Liverpool, Chelsea, West Ham and Arsenal are still in the competition.

For the records, Chelsea is the only thing that have drawn Liverpool this season and yet, their performances have been exponentially terrible than any of the "big 4" or "big 6" teams.

Everton manager Dyche will face his old team Burnley in the next round. To be honest he deserves credit because he did a very good job while he was managing there for on a shoestring budget. I think Everton should win that game, the home advantage will be urging them on.

Mansfield Town vs Port Vale is the one to watch because of the spirit of the game. The winning team will go on to make a lot of money from television rights and the smaller clubs deserve more financial help.

have to pick my own Everton to win it
after seven matches drawn as away in Carabao cup, Everton has a good chance to progress further against Burnley at home
two wins in away matches in a row, against Premier league rivals (not in Premier league, dough) after several years, and it seems that Everton found some form, with DCL back on the pitch

Throughout the season Manchester United have not been good enough to finish in the top two places in the Premier League because Arsenal and Manchester City deserve to be fighting for the top two positions but Newcastle United, Manchester United and Tottenham do deserve to be fighting for a top 4 finish and with that champions league qualification.

Ten Hag has done well by winning the Carabao Cup but they have to focus on the Europa League and FA Cup. If they win three trophies in his first season and finish 3rd in the Premier League that will be a success considering their fall from grace after Ferguson retired.

There is still a lot of room for development in that team and a lot of positions that needs to be filled by the right players, but from what Ten Hag has done so far, we can say that he might be the coach to return Manchester United to her glory days.

I think Manchester United were labelled as a failing team in the first couple of games in to their season but the vital win against Liverpool set them back on the road to recovery. Ten Hag made a huge decision to bench Maguire and that somehow kick-started their season with Martinez and Varane occupying the central defensive positions.

They won the Carabao Cup and are still in the semi-final of the FA Cup, the quarter-final of the Europa League and are joint 3rd in the Premier League therefore they have made progress.

Any body who understands football will know that Ten Hag was a good coach. The way Manchester United played even at the beginning of the season when they were losing shows that Ten Hag knew what he was doing, but I must confess I thought he would need more time to get things right. I felt this way because watching the Manchester United players play you'd see they struggled to execute things on the pitch exactly how Ten Hag wanted. His concepts were alien to them.
Take for example, Ten Hag is a manager that loves his team to always be on the ball by releasing it very quickly to their teammates. United players struggled with this because they were not used to that style of play, but look how quickly they all adapted.

There is still a lot of room for development in that team and a lot of positions that needs to be filled by the right players, but from what Ten Hag has done so far, we can say that he might be the coach to return Manchester United to her glory days.

@JollyGood I vividly remember that time as Ten Hag was written off by all, but he said he doesn’t care and he’ll work tirelessly for the club and in the end results are showing that he was the right man for the job. Furthermore Newcastle have improved a lot this season, and for me even if they finish in top 6 it’s a massive statement of intent from them because they’ll be considered as genuine title contenders next season.

RESULT:

Manchester United 2-0 Newcastle United

Manchester United won the game with two first half goals. What a turnaround from the team that lost to both Brighton and Brentford as the beginning of the season. They are still in the FA Cup and Europa League as well as chasing for the Premier League.

As for Newcastle, there are many positives to take because the ideas of the new manager will take time to implement and they are clearly in need of strengthening their squad. If they manage to finish the season in the top four it will be a massive achievement.

Congratulations to ManU for winning EFL Cup and good luck for them to win other competitions. They can do it and win Europa League especially after kicking one of the best teams: Barcelona out. In FA Cup, there isn't many top teams left except City and Spurs.
I am impressed with their performance after their horrible start this season in EPL and they deserve to lift something. For Newcastle, they did pretty well and this team might have a bright future.
