2 weeks Ago By Joe Wright
The FA Cup quarterfinals take place over this weekend as the Premier League gets a slightly longer break at the end of the March international window. Fulham and Crystal Palace got the ball rolling before Brighton & Hove Albion hosted Nottingham Forest, hoping to avenge that remarkable 7-0 league defeat at the beginning of February. Sunday's play sees Preston North End, the only side remaining from outside the top flight, host Aston Villa.
The round concludes with Bournemouth taking on back-to-back finalists Manchester City, who are looking for a positive note to what has been a very difficult season. The draw for the semifinal ties is due to take place around the City game. The precise scheduling of those matches is not yet known, but there is already a weekend in April set aside for them.
