"Arsenal, conversely, are the highest, and they eased past Mansfield to confirm their progression on Sunday. Chelsea had a rather more stressful outing, requiring extra time to get by Championship side Wrexham. Liverpool routed Wolves at Molineux thanks to an impressive performance from Andy Robertson, while Manchester City downed Newcastle at St James' Park to book their spot in the quarter-finals."
"Fulham and Sunderland saw themselves unceremoniously knocked out of the running, having been on the losing end of 1-0 defeats by Southampton and Port Vale, respectively. The latter club, who sit rock bottom in League One, are now the lowest-ranked team left in the competition."
The FA Cup fifth round is nearly complete, with seven Premier League clubs awaiting their quarter-final draw this evening. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City have all advanced, with Arsenal defeating Mansfield, Chelsea requiring extra time against Wrexham, Liverpool routing Wolves, and Manchester City beating Newcastle. The weekend featured two major upsets: Southampton eliminated Fulham 1-0, and Port Vale, sitting at the bottom of League One, knocked out Sunderland with an identical scoreline. Port Vale is now the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition, while Arsenal represents the highest-ranked side still in contention.
