Manchester United are in contention to win a quadruple which is the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League which they will try to add to the Carabao Cup they won over the weekend.

They still may have a chance to win all four competitions, but it's highly unlikely. At least I don't think that they have what it takes to win the title in the Premier League. I think that the biggest fight for the title will be between Arsenal and Man. City.

As for the FA cup, if they win today against West Ham, they will face Blackburn in the next round so that title is still pretty much in place.
Manchester united might be able to win the English FA cup because their team is unstoppable at the moment. They still have the opportunity to win two more cups this seaan which is this cup and Europa cup. This will be a great achievement for them and Eric Hag. I don't see them win EPL since the points differences is much.

Manchester city is good and capable to winning both English FA and EPL,since they are second on the table and might just overtake Arsenal,if Arsenal loss any of their game. Manchester united will win tonight's match against West Ham because they will be playing at old Trafford, which is hard for them to be defeated at home. It will be an interesting match and I hope it doesn't end up a draw.

@JollyGood Leicester played really bad and deserved to be knocked out, and honestly they really need to introspect as to why they’re underperforming so bad that too against such easy opponents. Furthermore Manchester City was always guaranteed to win, hence I was not surprised to see them progress to the next round.
It was not that long ago that Leicester City surprised everybody with their Premier League title win but since then they have been far too inconsistent in all competitions to be taken seriously. They did well to climb out of the relegation zone and will no be relegated at least not this season and they could have gone far in cup competitions if they were focused but even that did not work for them. Well done to Blackburn Rovers.

Bristol City made life difficult for Manchester City and the scoreline flattered 0-3 scoreline flattered them a little but they were favourites to go through to the next round.

They still may have a chance to win all four competitions, but it's highly unlikely. At least I don't think that they have what it takes to win the title in the Premier League. I think that the biggest fight for the title will be between Arsenal and Man. City.

As for the FA cup, if they win today against West Ham, they will face Blackburn in the next round so that title is still pretty much in place.
The Premier League is probably beyond them but they will try to stay in contention until it is mathematically impossible to win it. As for the FA Cup and Europa League, they are in a knockout competition. If they won just one more cup and ended the season in the Premier League top three it would be classed as a successful season for them considering they were at the bottom of the table after back to back defeats in August at the start of the season.

At this stage, Manchester City have to be favourites to life the FA Cup.

Leeds United was so unfortunate on today’s game, they played good football and couldn’t convert many chances to either equalize on time to keep the game on a stable fate or lead the game in the first half. It was a lucky game on the side of Fulham city.

From the top half of the draw Manchester City have to be favourites to life the trophy and from the bottom half of the draw Manchester United and Tottenham are probably favourites.
Manchester City and Manchester United are strong teams and as a football you can call it a favourite but they are merited to be there. The fixtures of this month end is nice, that means this month end will be a time of fun. Fulham vs Leeds United is another strong pair. For the Bristol vs Manchester City, it will be a work over for Manchester City, Stoke  City vs Brighton and Hove Albion, Brighton will lead the game. Leicester City will control Blackburn Rovers.
Coming to the down, Southampton vs Grimsby Town will be a thug of war, Burnley vs Fleetwood Town might have the same fate. Manchester United vs West Ham United, it will be also a work over for Man U. Tottenham will win Sheffield United. This is my prediction

I thought they overpaid for Casemiro because he was already 30 years of age when he joined Manchester United but he has been a very good player for them.

Liverpool were beaten by Brighton. Opponents just do not fear facing Liverpool, they have dipped in form after selling Sadio Mane. It just goes to show how important Mane was for the team (more than Salah). If Liverpool owners sack Klopp they will have to pay compensation and then give the new manager time to rebuild and spend on players he wants to bring in. As long as Klopp does not resign the board will not sack him because the club is now for sale they would prefer to sell it and let the new owners make decisions.

@JollyGood I’m really happy for Manchester United, and the way they’re playing is making every Red Devil fan’s proud and it’s hard to imagine that we were getting Rabiot instead of Casemiro Grin. Furthermore Liverpool season seems to be jinxed, because they have been eliminated from this competition and now I wonder how long before the Liverpool board loses patience with Klopp and sacks him?.

I am certain Arsenal will not win the Premier League and the game today shows Arsenal can be beaten by a more determined opponent. Manchester City will not let go of their champions status easily. Manchester City deserved their win and they proceed to the 5th Round,

Accrington Stanley vs Leeds United         
Walsall vs Leicester City         
Blackburn Rovers vs Birmingham City         
Bristol City vs West Bromwich Albion

Luton Town vs Grimsby Town         
Sheffield Wednesday vs Fleetwood Town         
Southampton vs Blackpool         
Preston North End vs Tottenham Hotspur         
Manchester United vs Reading


Although Manchester city won at the end of the day, they did not quite impress and dominate the game like they usually do. It was a fairly balanced game that I feel that Arsenal could have won had Arteta started with our regular first Eleven players and not removing Thomas Party for Sambi Lokonga, and starting Odegaard. The moment Thomas Partey went off, I feel Manchester United got an edge in midfield. Arsenal was able to contain De Bruyne and Halaand, and that is something good in preparation for when we play Manchester city in the premier league.

Congratulations Manchester city, the can win the FA cup this season, since Arsenal are looking fully focused on winning the EPL.

These are the results from the FA Cup games played today:

Bristol City 1-1 Swansea City
Derby County 3-0 Barnsley
Cardiff City 2-2 Leeds United
Hartlepool United 0-3 Stoke City
Norwich City 0-1 Blackburn Rovers
Stockport County 1-2 Walsall
Aston Villa 1-2 Stevenage
Manchester City 4-0 Chelsea


The result of the day has to be Stevenage beating Aston Villa after coming from a goal down scoring two goals in the final two minutes of the game. The League Two club have caused a major shock but this is the magic of the FA Cup, smaller clubs can occasionally beat the much bigger clubs.

Another big test for Chelsea after loosing already to Manchester City in the Premier League.
Well, Chelsea are in big trouble when it comes to the Premier League. There is no real chance of them finishing in the top four this season therefore they will not play Champions League next season. On merit alone, Manchester City,  Arsenal, Newcastle United and Manchester United deserve to finish in the top four but as the season goes on that could change.

As for their game today, Manchester City absolutely took them apart and exposed their weaknesses with a convincing 4-0 win. Even though Manchester City put out  a weakened team, Chelsea tried to field a team as strong as possible because they have to try to win any domestic cup they can. Chelsea are out of the competition and they continue to have a miserable season. Potter is the wrong man to be their manager or coach.

Manchester City 16:30 Chelsea
Another big test for Chelsea after loosing already to Manchester City in the Premier League. Hopefully they have been able to make changes and known their errors in the first game that made them loose three points to be able to win Manchester City in this FA cup clash. The winner in this game will be the team to play the winners in the game between Oxford and Arsenal tomorrow. Chelsea in this game don't need to play the defensive, that did not work for them before, they need to put pressure on Manchester City and take any chance they get in this game to avoid loosing a second time to Manchester City.

The way Wolves were playing they deserved to get at least a draw from the game and maybe could have edged it to deserve a win. Though neither team wanted a replay that is what will happen because unlike last season the games will revert to replays and then extra-time and penalties if necessary. I preferred the previous format last season where domestic cup games were decided on the day rather than replays because it adds to an already congested fixture list.

Liverpool will have to travel to Wolverhampton (for the replay) and then winner will move in to the 4th round of the tournament.

Liverpool 2-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers

 Honestly this game was a shocker. I really should commend the efforts of the Wolves side. Being the goal openers, I expected them to become weak during the second half since most of their games end that way, but after Salah's goal in the 52nd minute, I felt that was the end.
 This game only proves that Jurgen Klopp is really struggling  to get to the top four standings and although it doesn't affect their position, it would have been worth it to perform better. Hopefully they'd do better in the next leg.
