Eight teams remain in contention to win the FA Cup in 2025, with many neutrals hoping a new champion will go all the way this time.
Fulham, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion have never won the competition. Second-tier Preston North End are the only team from outside the top flight still involved, last lifting the trophy in 1938.
Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest have not been champions since the 1950s, while Manchester City are bidding for glory for the fourth time since 2011.
