Former England goalkeepers Rob Green and David James — an FA Cup winner with Portsmouth in 2009 — are joined by journalist Luke Edwards to dissect a fantastic Cup quarter-final weekend.

Arsenal were shocked by second-tier Southampton, Premier League relegation battlers West Ham and Leeds played out a thriller on Sunday afternoon, while Manchester City continued their confident run by humbling Liverpool at the Etihad to put Arne Slot under pressure.

Chelsea did a professional job to put 7 past Port Vale, but a lot of the focus was on Enzo Fernandez’s off-the-pitch comments. Has Liam Rosenior got his approach to it all correct?
