Arsenal have raised the FA Cup more often than any other club in the competition’s storied history. The Gunners have won the FA Cup 13 times, and they will be making their record 21st appearance in an FA Cup Final this weekend. Perhaps it’s only fitting that they take on arguably their biggest rival in this year’s final, squaring off against Chelsea in the North West London Derby. These two clubs locked horns here three years ago in the FA Cup Finals, and the Blues would love to upend the Gunner... 

There are no Cinderella stories to root for in this year’s FA Cup Semifinals. No non-Premier League team made it to the quarterfinals, and all four of the Big Six clubs still remaining in the competition went on the road and emerged victorious in late June to make it to Wembley. In an interesting twist, these four teams were also the last four winners of the FA Cup, so none of these clubs will find this moment to big for them. ... 

The two most successful clubs in the history of the FA Cup are looking to add another trophy to their mantle this season. Arsenal have won 13 FA Cup titles and Manchester United have won 12 FA Cups in their history, and they are favored to advance out of the quarterfinals this weekend. However, there is no question that the team to beat in the 2019-20 FA Cup is Manchester City. The Citizens are by far the biggest favorite this weekend, and they dismantled Watford 6-0 in last season’s FA Cup Fina... 

Manchester City are looking to write their names in the history books this Saturday. No team has ever claimed a domestic treble in the history of English soccer, and the Citizens can become the first if they beat Watford in the FA Cup Final on Saturday. City have already claimed the Carabao Cup this season, and they just won the Premier League over Liverpool after a brief scare against Brighton and Hove Albion last week. Manchester City are heavy favorites to make it three trophies this season.... 

And then there were four. There are just four teams left in the FA Cup, and one is the overwhelming favorite. Manchester City have a chance to win an unprecedented quadruple, and they are the biggest, deepest, and most talented team left in the competition. The Citizens haven’t won an FA Cup title since the 2010-11 campaign, but they are heavy odds-on favorites as the only Big Six team left.... 

There are only eight teams left with a shot at this year’s FA Cup, and the two Manchester clubs are the heavy favorites to claim the silverware. Manchester City are effectively odds-on favorites at this point considering how dominant they have looked for long stretches, but Manchester United have been very lively under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Non-Premier League sides like Swansea City and Millwall would love to spoil the party, yet they have a long way to go.... 

The fifth round of the FA Cup will take place this weekend. There are 16 teams left vying for the second-most coveted trophy in England, and there is a decent chance that a non-Premier League team wins the cup for the first time in nearly 40 years. Only seven Premier League teams remain in the competition and half of the Big Six clubs have been eliminated at this point. At least one more will be eliminated after this round too with Chelsea and Manchester United squaring off on Monday. ... 

We are getting into the thick of things in the FA Cup now. The Premier League teams entered the competition last round, and seven of those teams have already been eliminated from the tournament. Liverpool was the big name eliminated three weeks ago, and the EPL leaders will no longer be able to win a domestic double after the defeat. The draw was kind to many of the lower-tier teams left. Eight EPL teams will be squaring off against each other, ensuring that the Round of 16 will have at least se... 

The Cinderella stories of the FA Cup are legendary in England. The oldest national football competition in the world has had some small clubs make deep runs over the years, and many of the small clubs are looking to capture the hearts of their countrymen this weekend in the third round of the FA Cup. Only 64 clubs are left, and right now the darling everyone is cheering for is Woking. Woking are in the sixth tier of English soccer, and they are the only semi-pro club left in the competition....
