Upaya Panenka yang gagal dari Dango Ouattara terbukti mahal bagi Brentford setelah imbang 2-2 dengan West Ham di London Stadium. The Hammers akhirnya memastikan tempat mereka di perempat final Piala FA setelah kemenangan dramatis dalam adu penalti melawan The Bees.
Undian perempat final Piala FA telah menghasilkan beberapa pertandingan menarik, dengan pertandingan besar antara Manchester City dan Liverpool di Stadion Etihad sebagai sorotan utama. Sementara itu, Port Vale, yang sedang berjuang di Liga 1, mendapat hadiah atas penampilan gemilang mereka di Piala FA dengan undian impian melawan Chelsea. Pemimpin Liga Premier Arsenal juga akan menghadapi ujian tandang yang sulit melawan Southampton, tim dari Championship.
Legenda Manchester United dan Inggris, Wayne Rooney, menyatakan bahwa pertandingan Wrexham yang baru-baru ini ia hadiri adalah pertunjukan terbaik yang pernah ia saksikan sejak pensiun dari sepak bola. Sementara dunia sepak bola terpesona oleh kemenangan luar biasa Inter Milan dengan skor agregat 7-6 atas Barcelona di semifinal Liga Champions tahun lalu, Rooney menyarankan bahwa atmosfer dan drama yang mengelilingi kekalahan Wrexham di Piala FA melawan Chelsea melebihi semuanya.
Mansfield Town melontarkan sindiran tajam kepada bek Arsenal, Riccardo Calafiori, setelah kekalahan heroik mereka di putaran kelima Piala FA. The Stags memberikan perlawanan sengit kepada lawan mereka dari Premier League di One Call Stadium sebelum akhirnya kalah dengan skor tipis 2-1. Klub League One tersebut kemudian menargetkan pemain internasional Italia itu di media sosial, mengolok-olok gaya larinya yang khas sebelum menegaskan bahwa postingan tersebut hanyalah "banter".
Keajaiban Piala FA terpancar terang di Vale Park pada Minggu, saat Port Vale, tim yang sedang berjuang di Liga Satu, berhasil mencatat kemenangan mengejutkan atas tim papan atas. Meskipun berada di posisi terbawah di divisi ketiga, The Valiants berhasil mengalahkan Sunderland, tim Liga Premier, dengan kemenangan 1-0 yang penuh perjuangan, meskipun ada selisih 57 peringkat di piramida sepak bola.
