The FA Cup is heating up as Premier League and Championship teams join the competition. The journey to Wembley is becoming more intense, with the stakes increasing and the tournament’s signature blend of high-profile matches and surprise results taking centre stage.
Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champions, are set to play Barnsley, who famously ousted the Reds from the cup in their last encounter in 2008. Current holders Crystal Palace will start their title defence against Macclesfield, one of only three non-league teams still in the competition, along with Boreham Wood and Weston-super-Mare.
In other fixtures, Manchester City will host Exeter City, Arsenal will face Portsmouth, and Chelsea will take on Charlton, providing ample opportunities for another memorable cup upset. There are also three intriguing all-Premier League matches, with Manchester United playing Brighton, Tottenham facing Aston Villa, and Newcastle going up against Bournemouth.
