Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool have made it into the 5th round of the FA Cup. Whilst it was expected for the Premier League giants to progress without struggle, this was far from the case for some.
Manchester City eased 4 goals past Fulham, winning 4-1. Liverpool fielded a strong team and retained 80% of possession against Cardiff City. We’re normally not used to Jurgen Klopp fielding strong lineups in the early stages of a domestic cup, but I guess he had other plans. The Reds beat Cardiff 3-1, showing just how serious they are about winning the FA Cup.
Seeing Liverpool and Man City comfortably beat their opponents, it makes me wonder about Chelsea’s progression. However, before we get into it, let’s deep dive into how Manchester United bowed out with special thanks to Middlesbrough.
