The synergy between both Haaland and De Bruyne reminds me with Ronaldo and Ozil, a perfect duo in that times. With the results in this match, I believe people will think Manchester City will win treble again in this season.

Yeah Manchester United performance is still questionable, but this is an elimination match, so every clubs will try their best to win. Even Leeds looks really strong in Championship, but the gap between Premier League and Championship is really far.

Pep Guardiola has huge ambition for winning FA Cup season 2023/24, last victory over Luton Town he used all main players for the first minutes and he won't losses opportunity for winning without get rematch if the result draw. Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne played in the first minutes and most fantastic with Manchester City attacking line performance by scoring five goals and become the first achieving with Erling Haalad scored the most goals in one match.
Manchester City's victory over Luton Town had to be paid dearly because their player Jack Grealish had to be withdrawn in the 38th minute due to injury. There has been no official confirmation from Manchester City for how long Grealish will be absent and become bad news for many crucial match in Premier League and Manchester City have to play in Champion League.

fantastic performance for manchester city. despite competing away at his homebase luton. manchester city was able to win a landslide victory with a score of 6-2 in this match two players who became actors of victory incised a fantastic performance as well erling haland scored 5 goals and kevin  4 assists. manchester city's complementary goal was scored by defensive midfielder mateo kovacic.

Bournemouth were expected to win in that game according to bookies from what I saw before the game. Since I am not following Leicester City progression then I can't tell if they will have a chance or not but in the end it is clear that Bournemouth ruined it.

Luton Town failure was quite big. Manchester City or exactly Haaland punished them badly. From six goals, Haaland scored five. That made Luton Town look very weak

Haaland have struggled recently to score goals especially in the premier league, This game against Luton clearly shows that he has regained his goal scoring form, and his confidence will be high for the next game against Manchester United. The duo of Kevin De Bruyne was one of the winning strategy for Pep last season because the two players understand themselves well, this season it is continuing.

Luton tried to even score two goals, they were not weak, Manchester City were just too strong.

I only realized later in the game on how Bournemouth wasn’t creating enough chances neither were they having those dangerous attacking moments to decide on whom was to qualify. I even had to gamble it in the ending 5minutes of regular time and I lost, lol!
Still, you could see the tempo of the game drastically changed after the Iheanacho substitution. He wasn’t very attacking but, dropping those slide passes to create something spectacular for his team mates. Was more of a team player today than someone seeking personal glory and he got the assist he so sort for.
What a great goal it was, worthy of a decider and with that in the extra time, they sent Bournemouth out of the FA cup.

Manchester City on the other hand made Luton seem like such a terrible team. Just minutes after the kickoff, E. Haaland had his first and it was none stopping him afterwards. 5 goals and 5 assist from a single player, come on. Luton was just that bad to let this happen!

I don't know man, Newcastle started their first team squad amd couldn't win Blackburn in regular time. It's a pain to watch Newcastle struggling against a championship team that has been relegated from the EPL for over a decade. Bournemouth losing against Leicester too was really surprising but Leicester is an EPL team in my books despite playing in the championship this season.

For City, Haaland x KDB combo is one of the best I have seen in the last two seasons. If you watch how they play, you'd see that they both understand each other fully and it's beautiful to watch. The first goal started off like a play, next thing we know, Luton town was down 0-3.

I expected the win from Manchester City, but I never expected Haaland to score five goals in the match, and I never expected four assists from De Bruyne. The most interesting part is that, for 4 out of 5 goals scored by Haaland, De Bruyne made the assist. That’s just what surprises me most in the match. To be serious, those two players really played well today. I never expected such a brilliant performance from them. Manchester City really played well today, and I never expected them to score that many goals in the match, but they performed well, and they really deserve the win.

The match is just too easy and Luton look so weak,  I'm surprised although I knew city boys will definitely win the match but I never expected this much goal and another extra goal has been scored by Kovacic, I trusted Kevin to deliver excellent and he deserve a credit with four amazing assist.
If care is not taken if Manchester city continue with such amazing pressure then they might beat Liverpool, I never expected this honestly speaking cause they seem to take every little opportunity so serious and coming back so strong.

I think that most of us expected easy game for City, but damn, 2:6 was difficult to predict. And 5 goals of Haaland, damn, I just don't know what to say.
Was surprised that Bournemouth were heavy favoured vs Leicester by bookmakers. But when I saw their squad, it's all clear - Foxes gave priority to Championship and promotion to EPL. Despite it, game went to extra time and Leicester even took a lead.
And Newcastle didn't managed win against quite weak Championship side Blackburn in regular time and game went to another ET.

The really interesting thing about the FA Cup game between Luton and Manchester City is that Haaland went nuts and scored 5 goals. I wonder whether he is pissed off when Guardiola often decides to substitute Haaland when he is about to break records. I guess he could have probably scored more goals than that, but Guardiola once argued that he thinks it's better to take Haaland off the pitch without breaking certain records in order to keep him motivated in the future. Imagine Ronaldo would have been about to break a record and then the coach wanted him to come off... I think Ronaldo would have ignored that

Obviously, City won't take chances here this time around in the FA Cup competition as their chances to lift the Premier League trophy this season wants to ruin by Liverpool FC, and couple with the fact that the carabou cup has already been taken by Liverpool, so they will do everything possible to try to reach the final game should they missed their opportunity in the Premier League and I guess this is what Luton Town is suffering in this game, the wrath of Manchester city.

I knew Manchester City will take this match very seriously. They do not want to miss out on the opportunity to win a trophy this season. The league and champions league is not certain even though they're favorite in both competitions, but the FA looks relatively easier for them to win. Knowing Pep, he won't joke with an opportunity like that.
Once I City's starting line up, I knew how the game was going to look like. City wil try to bury the game early on so they can give rest to some of their players, but in other to that, a lot of the first team players are going to start.
It was always going to be a sure win for Manchester City.

What an easy match for Manchester city today against Luton, who is very weak for them. Manchester City is already on the lead with 2 goals to nothing. The two goals was scored by Haaland. He scored an early on the the third minutes to open the score line, and on the 18th minutes, he had a clear one on one with Luton goalkeeper, which he brilliantly find the back of the net.

Manchester city is in possession of the game, and it shows that Luton is incapable of resisting the pressure mounted on them by Manchester city. City has lost more chances than Luton, and City is using all their best players in the match regardless that it is FA cup. The match is on the 27th minutes and no goal has been added to the recent scored ones.

Luton 0-2

The other two matches is still goalless and none of the club has found the back of the net yet.

Blackburn 0-0 Newcastle.

Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester City

It is true that basically every match has a clear favourite: Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle..
Manchester United looks favourite against Nottingham Forest but I have my own worries about ManU performance. Otherwise Wolverhampton - Brighton might be the hardest match since both clubs aren't far from each others.
For Chelsea, it is true they didn't face a top and serious opponent so it is early to judge how far they could advance in this competition.

If Poch is smart he will try to use this competition to turn things around, especially after their defeat to Liverpool with 6 or more key players injured. At the very least they should reach the semi-final, if they don't even reach that then things are going to get bad for Poch. What do I say, Poch is feeling the heat from fans and the employer already. I'd say leaving Chelsea is probably good for him, and if he is still interested in managing a club aim for a mid-table club where he probably has an easier time managing the dressing room and giving his inputs to transfers to a bigger degree.

What a season it has been for Chelsea, spending a ton of money yet the return is not great. One FA Cup should not be the target if they spend that much money. Sure it is a long-term contract, but I bet it is hard for the fans to watch their team struggling to remain on top for more than one season.

Chelsea are serious in all competitions, not just in the FA Cup or Carabao Cup where they failed to become champions, as well as in the English Premier League, they are also serious, that's why they spend fantastic funds in the transfer market to build a team that is expected to win lots of titles, but they are serious is not enough because it has been proven that Chelsea have failed in two competitions in the English Premier League and a few days ago in the Carabao Cup final, why? because these players often do not play with solid teamwork, they often become selfish and only try to show individual skills rather than teamwork.

The FA Cup is Chelsea's only hope at the moment, and to be honest, I say they are also very likely to fail, maybe against Leeds United later they can still qualify for the quarter-finals, but in the quarter-finals, they will face a more difficult match, because there are still 10 teams from the EPL competing, where they also have the opportunity to reach the quarter-finals and maybe become Chelsea opponents later if they successfully beat Leeds United.
Against Leeds United, Chelsea is clearly the favorite and they should be able to overcome this opponent well because failure will only make this team look bad because they certainly have no chance of winning the title and that has happened in the last two seasons.

Yeah it's a big joke if Chelsea is focus in FA Cup, they didn't even have faced a strong clubs, so we can't say anything with their performance in FA Cup. If he refers to Aston Villa as the reason to say Chelsea is focus in FA Cup, he forget if Aston Villa is failing and now can only win against mediocre clubs.

Looking at the match in this week, I'd say it's not worth to watch because we already know the results of every matches.

I do not agree with this because currently we have all top teams in this event with just Arsenal and Aston Villa missing which mean it's never been easy for the Chelsea to have this event into their pocket now after Liverpool's win in EFL Cup things are going more interesting because they are trying their best for having as many cups in this season with best farewell for the outgoing Jürgen Klopp who is going to leave this club at the end of this season and Manchester City which is struggling into Premier League also trying their best for having this cup.

In presence of these teams, Chelsea which is already struggling badly and having no chance for ending into top six also having no chance for win this FA Cup in this season they have to prepare for the next season which may be good for them if they keep this coach for another season.

clearly chelsea is most serious in the FA cup. because the team is rich with a large transfer budget and many star players have joined chelsea. and the FA cup is the only title that chelsea can still get. in the league chelsea has been scattered far in the standings table chasing the top 4 is just difficult, what else is the champion.
