Key Storylines to Watch

🔥 Can Plymouth Argyle Pull Off Another Giant-Killing?

One of the biggest stories of this season’s FA Cup has been Plymouth Argyle’s stunning fourth-round victory over Liverpool at Anfield. The Championship side shocked everyone with a historic 2-1 win, sending Liverpool crashing out of the competition (BBC Sport).

Their reward? A trip to the Etihad Stadium to face reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side has been dominant in all competitions, but could Plymouth produce another miracle and shock the football world again?

⚔️ Crystal Palace vs. Millwall: A Heated London Derby

South London rivals Crystal Palace and Millwall will go head-to-head in what promises to be one of the most intense fixtures of the round. Both teams will be eager to assert their dominance, and with a long history of fierce encounters, this game is expected to be a battle from start to finish.

Expect a physical, high-energy contest, with both sets of fans adding to the electric atmosphere (Sky Sports).

🏆 Manchester United’s FA Cup Defense Begins

Manchester United will face Premier League rivals Fulham at Old Trafford. United, who won the FA Cup last season, will be favorites, but Fulham has been unpredictable and capable of surprising top teams.

With a strong attacking lineup, United will be confident, but Fulham could cause trouble if they bring their A-game (The Guardian).

⚡ Premier League Clashes to Watch

Two all-Premier League ties stand out in this round:
👉 Newcastle vs. Brighton – Two high-flying teams known for attacking football. Expect a fast-paced game with plenty of goals.
👉 Bournemouth vs. Wolves – Both teams have been inconsistent this season, making this a highly unpredictable matchup.

Both games could go either way, depending on form and squad selection (ESPN).
