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.

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

Crystal Palace 1-2 Southampton
Gillingham 0-1 Leicester City
Preston North End 3-1 Huddersfield Town
Reading 2-0 Watford

There was one game called-off which will be re-scheduled: Forest Green Rovers vs Birmingham City (postponed because of waterlogged pitch)

Manchester United 3 - 1 Everton

well, i have seen several negative comments about the everton coach frack lampard, apart from him he is responsible for the most results, because even in certain games he could have made some changes in the team strategy he could have achieved better results, but everton already had other coaches with a good reputation who were unable to bring good results to everton, from what i see this situation of bad results for everton may have deeper origins within the management of the club itself

in almost 7 years the owner of everton fired 5 coaches, these are scary numbers, it is not possible that the 5 coaches are wrong and are missing, the problem may not be with the coaches. something else is failing. Lampard's csso I don't know if I will fire him, but if he leaves and takes on another coach, I very much doubt that much will change, probably the thing that would change would be the team not being close to the relegation zone

The game finally ended 3-1 in favour of Manchester United and Marcus Rashford scores again in another Manchester United game. This team that Erik Ten Hag has put together is definitely one to be feared and even more in attack with rumours of Felix and Aboubakar from Cameron likely to join them on loan.

I wonder why they don't use VAR in FA cup games, VAR technology should be used in all competitions since it has improved decision making process although some decisions with it are still biased, but majorly I feel VAR should be used generally. Some decisions from the officials in the game was not completely accepted as correct and should have warranted a VAR check for verification.

The game is at first half and the score is 1-1.

I also expect Manchester United to win the game. As for Lampard, I have no idea how he has survived so long with a dismal record at Everton. I expect Manchester City to win their FA Cup game against Chelsea because Potter and his team have not been good enough most of the season.

Simply put yes Manchester United should win the game.

FA cup is not easy and to know the club that will be the FA cup winner is very difficult, there are many other clubs that are good in EPL that are eager to win FA cup too, Manchester United team can try their best, but they may or may not be the winner. But as for today's match, this season has been a bad season for Everton and they are on the relegation position in premier league, that is enough to let us know that Manchester United is having a better chance to win.

@JollyGood I personally expect Manchester United to win because I’m sure that Erik ten Hag desires to win a trophy in his first season, and the way he prepares his team for every match makes me confident to say that my beloved club is back on track.

Furthermore Lampard needs to go and I can’t understand how has he survived so far?, and lastly do you feel that Chelsea will be able to get revenge on City for yesterday’s loss or do you feel that they’ll be defeated by City again?.

This is the only FA Cup game taking place today and it is the first involving Premier League clubs:

Manchester United vs Everton






If Everton lose there is a possibility Lampard will be sacked after the game. Surely with such a dismal record as manager he should be replaced because Everton are not a small club, they have a huge potential.
