Quarter Finals Millwall v Tranmere Manchester United v Fulham/West Ham Sunderland/Birmingham v Sheffield United Liverpool/Portsmouth v Arsenal Ties to be played on March 6/7. Fifth-Round Replays Sunday February 22 Portsmouth v Liverpool (KO??) Tuesday February 24 West Ham v Fulham (19:45) Wednesday February 25 Birmingham v Sunderland (19:45)
The Millwall-Tranmere draw ensures that there will be at least 1 non-Premiership side in the FA Cup semifinals. There could be as many as 3, as West Ham needs to get by Fulham, and then Manchester United, and Sunderland and Sheffield United are also still in the running.
How is it that the Portsmouth v Liverpool replay is on Sunday, instead of midweek? Were they already scheduled to play each other in league play? Or, have some other teams' games been rescheduled?
