Quarter Finals

Manchester City has gotten a very favorable draw as they travel north to Swansea. Brimming with confidence, anything but a City masterclass seems off the table.

Palace vs Watford would be an exciting clash with the two Premier League sides would have nothing more to go for as they both have almost secured midtable finishes. Palace would have to be favorites heading into this one, as a trip to the Selhurst Park is never straight forward.

Manchester United look unstoppable at the moment. Barring a blip against PSG, Solskjaer's men have been near flawless, playing exciting attacking football and getting results as well. Wolves though are no pushovers. Having eliminated Liverpool in the Cup and having beaten Chelsea and Spurs in the league, they'd be willing to take their chances. A close tie but United is definitely the favorite to go through.

Millwall vs Brighton would be the most unpredictable of them all. The Den will surely be bouncing as they take on the Premier League side. Currently, the lowest ranked side left in the competition, Millwall are in a position they love. It will be a tight match and the Lions will do anything they have to extend this dream run. If I had to pick one of the two, I'd put my money on Millwall to pull off another upset.
