With no Premier League football and EFL fixtures on Good Friday and Easter Monday, Saturday and Sunday will be dedicated to football's oldest club competition.

The quarter-finals kick off in style with Man City v Liverpool at the Etihad, before Port Vale bid to keep their FA Cup fairytale alive away at Chelsea in front of the BBC cameras.

Southampton v Arsenal will be the Saturday night entertainment from the South Coast, while relegation rivals West Ham and Leeds United put their survival hopes aside on Sunday to focus on the cup.

Fans across the nation will be digging out their tin foil trophies as the magic of the cup grips football once again.
