FA Cup – Latest News, Results and Analysis
Welcome to the place where every FA Cup fan finds what they need. From the early qualifying rounds to the drama at Wembley, we bring the scores, stories and stats you care about. No fluff, just the info you want to talk about with your mates.
This Week's FA Cup Highlights
The biggest headline this week is the semi‑final draw. Crystal Palace will face Aston Villa, while Nottingham Forest takes on Manchester City at Wembley on 26‑27 April. Palace rides a five‑game winning streak, and Villa’s recent win saw Marcus Rashford net a brace. Forest edged Brighton on penalties to reach their first semi since 1991, and City bounced back from a setback against Bournemouth despite an ankle knock to Erling Haaland.
Elsewhere, the earlier rounds have delivered a few shocks. Lower‑league sides kept the cup’s reputation for upsets alive, knocking out some Championship clubs with late goals. Those matches are worth a replay if you missed them – the excitement of a giant‑killing is what makes the FA Cup special.
What to Watch for Next
Looking ahead, the semi‑finals will decide who earns a spot in the iconic final at Wembley. Expect tight midfield battles, set‑piece drama, and the usual cup‑night nerves. If Palace can hold their momentum, they could become the surprise finalists. City, with its deep squad, will aim to finish the season strong, but a single mistake could hand the trophy to a rival.
Fans should also keep an eye on the replay dates for the quarterfinals. Those games often produce the moments that end up on highlight reels for years – think of a last‑minute header or a penalty save that turns the tide.
