MY ACCOUNT
Chelsea will be out to avoid an FA Cup shock when they visit in-form Championship outfit Luton tonight as Liverpool and Southampton also face fifth-round clashes.
Our in-depth features will preview all three games, while we also round up the latest transfer news and turn the spotlight on Manchester United’s potential new boss.
FA Cup drama
Chelsea will hope to continue their charge towards a ninth FA Cup triumph with victory at Luton’s Kenilworth Road.
After drawing another blank in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel will be hoping striker Romelu Lukaku can recapture his scoring touch.
We look at the tactical tweaks needed to make the Belgian No9 flourish again.
And fresh from beating Chelsea in that final, Liverpool are hungry for more cup success as they host Norwich at Anfield.
With Jurgen Klopp tempted by the prospect of rotating his team as the fixtures pile up, one man hoping for a rare run-out will be defender Joe Gomez.
We turn the spotlight on Liverpool’s forgotten man as he looks to revive his Reds career or impress ahead of a potential move elsewhere.
This evening’s other tie sees Premier League duo Southampton and West Ham face off for a place in the last eight of the competition.
The Hammers know they will have to be at their best to stop a confident Saints team currently on a six-game unbeaten run.
And one man who will be watched closely is red-hot striker Che Adams, who has either scored or assisted in each of his last four games.
Happy birthday Poch
They say life begins at 50 and birthday boy Mauricio Pochettino could find himself in new surroundings this summer if recent reports are to be believed.
The Paris Saint-Germain boss has been heavily linked to take over at Manchester United when interim Ralf Ragngick steps aside at the end of the season.
We assess the chances of the Argentine switching Paris for Manchester this summer.
Transfer Talk
Another Liverpool man hoping for a chance to impress is midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has struggled to nail down a regular starting place since his move from Arsenal in 2017.
With his contract up next summer, the 28-year-old may be at something of a crossroads in his career.
At Chelsea, striker Timo Werner’s time at the club similarly looks to be up after failing to impress consistently since his big-money move from RB Leipzig in 2020.
We bring you the latest on his future plus plenty more in your daily transfer round-up.
