Only four Premier League matches will be played between Friday and Sunday, giving way to the FA Cup quarterfinals. With a full slate of Premier League matches and all but two Championship teams scheduled for league action that same weekend, there was some rescheduling necessary. The quarterfinals will be spread across the weekend of March 19-20. When are the FA Cup quarterfinals played? Middlesbrough (CH) 1, Tottenham 0 (a.e.t.) Outside of Boreham Wood and the Premier League teams, every other team in the Round of 16 hailed from the Championship (noted with a 'CH'). The Hertfordshire club went deeper in the FA Cup than they did in the FA Trophy (competition for teams in fifth division through eighth division). The last non-league side in the competition, Boreham Wood (fifth division), fell in the Round of 16 to Everton. Tottenham then also lost to Middlesbrough. We were guaranteed not to have an all-Premier League quarterfinal with Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield facing off in the Round of 16.

Southampton have been waiting a while to hoist the trophy again since last winning it in 1976.

The eight quarterfinalists emerged from the eight Fifth Round matchups.Īll but two of the clubs (Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough) have previously won the FA Cup, though Nottingham Forest's last triumph came all the way back in 1956.

There are two all-Premier League matchups on tap, while Liverpool and Chelsea take trips to visit the two second-tier Championship sides (noted with a 'CH'). Second-tier English Championship sides Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough advanced to the last eight along with a group of six Premier League sides which includes the top three in the league table: Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea. The quarterfinals of the FA Cup are being held over the course of a single weekend on March 19-20.
