A last-minute strike by Amad Diallo was enough to book Man United into the FA Cup semi-finals in what was a thrilling 4-3 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford. Liverpool looked well on course to be the victors after controlling a majority of the match, however Erik Ten Hag's acute substitutions swung the game the other way in the dying minutes. No quadruple for Jurgen Klopp's farewell tour, however a treble is still very much on the cards. Elsewhere, City also advanced to the semis with a win vs Newcastle, while two youngsters in the form of Chukwuemeka & Madueke scored late to gift Chelsea a Wembley outing. Coventry City rose above expectations to knock Wolves out of the competition, setting up a true underdog story in the last four. Magic of the FA Cup. All that, plus EPL & Champs League chats on this episode of Just For Kicks.

It's another FA Cup weekend, with tantalising ties as we head to the quarter final stage of the competition. All eyes will be at Old Trafford this weekend for the tie of the round though, as Manchester United host Liverpool. The Reds' emerging starlet Conor Bradley said that the club wants to win "every trophy possible" for departing manager, Jurgen Klopp, and after their exhilarating performance against Sparta Prague in the Europa League, you wouldn't bet against them dismantling an erratic Manchester United side. Our pundits share their thoughts on this match after reacting to the midweek European matches, as well as preview selected Premier League matches, and more, only on another enticing episode of Just For Kicks!

As expected, Manchester City brushed aside Man United in the derby, despite trailing at half time, thanks to Phil Foden's brilliant showing in the second half.

Both the Manchester clubs won their midweek FA Cup matches ahead of this weekend's explosive derby. But as usual, Manchester City steamrolled their opponent, with Erling Haaland back on the scoring sheet with a five-star performance, while Man Utd laboured against Nottingham Forest with another sub par showing. Based on those results, the outcome should be straightforward enough, but will that really be the case, especially when you take into factor the common cliche in football  - "form goes out the window"? Our pundits look ahead to the Manchester Derby, the other weekend's matches, and many more, including a trip down memory lane, on another exciting episode of Just For Kicks!

More than alright, in fact. An injury-hit Liverpool side had to field a bunch of raw talent led by talismanic skipper Virgil Van Dijk who scored the winner in extra-time to claim the Carabao Cup vs Chelsea. The only team in history to win it 10-times & first trophy following Jurgen Klopp’s bombshell announcement earlier this month. The first for the quadruple chasing Liverpool? Also, the gang reviews the Premier League action over the weekend - a last minute strike from Alex Iwobi handed Fulham their first victory at Old Trafford since 2003, while Arsenal emphatically beat Newcastle 4-1. All that and more, on this week's episode of Just For Kicks.

Advantage Arsenal & Liverpool, as Man City came from behind to salvage a point vs Chelsea at home leaving the champions in third, four points behind leaders Liverpool. In the entertaining affair, Pochettino will be encouraged by his side's resilient performance while on the flipside, Pep must be rueing what is two MASSIVE points lost in the title race. Elsewhere, two-goal hero Rasmus Højlund makes history as the youngest player to score in six successive league games - beating the record of Newcastle's Joe Willock - in a nervy 2-1 away win at Luton Town. Wolves scored two on their London visit, as Nuno's men took all three points from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium as a Joao Gomes brace earned a 2-1 win. That and more, including an update on Series A, on this week's episode of Just For Kicks.
