As the goals piled up at the Etihad Stadium, it was evident that City's hunger for silverware this season is unrelenting.

But Manchester City wasn't the only team making headlines in this FA Cup frenzy. Liverpool also seized the spotlight as they faced off against Accrington Stanley in an equally thrilling contest.

The late-game excitement added an extra dash of vengeance for Liverpool fans, proving that the squad is ready to reclaim their glory on both domestic and international fronts.

As Chelsea hosted Morecambe at Stamford Bridge, they too joined the ranks of triumph with a solid 5-0 thrashing. Enzo Maresca made strategic changes to the lineup, which paid off as his team came alive and showcased the depth of talent within Chelsea’s ranks. The welcome return of players like Reece James and Roméo Lavia breathed new life into the squad, setting a positive tone for Chelsea’s ambitions this season.
