Liverpool v Stoke In FA Cup Quarter-Finals


 Liverpool  are on track for three trips to Wembley this season as they beat championship side Brighton 6-1 at home to set up an all Premier meeting with Stoke  City in the quarter-finals. Stoke, last season’s beaten finalists, beat Millwall 2-0 in their fifth round tie. Stoke will be looking for cup revenge after losing to Liverpoolin the Carling Cup earlier this season.

In another all Premier League tie, Everton  will meet Sunderland  at Goodison Park on the weekend of March 17-18, after wins over Blackpool and Arsenal  respectively. Everton last won the competition in 1995, whileSunderland’s best season since reaching the final 20 years ago came in 2004 when they were beaten semi-finalists.
Tottenham , who were shockingly held to a goalless draw at league one Stevenage, will have a home match against Bolton  if they win the replay at White Hart Lane.
Chelsea , winners of the competition in three of the past five seasons, face a tough replay at Birmingham if they are to reach the quarter-finals. If they win it, they will have a home tie against the only non-Premier League side currently guaranteed a place in the last eight – Leicester.
