The biggest shock of the quarter-finals, however, was Southampton’s 2-1 win over Premier League leaders Arsenal. Mikel Arteta was looking at the possibility of achieving an unprecedented quadruple in 2025/26, before City stole the Carabao Cup final from them thanks to a Nico O’Reilly double and the Saints ousted them from the FA Cup this weekend.

Still in the Champions League and topping the Premier League table, nine points ahead of City with just seven games to go, the pressure is now on for Arteta to take any form of silverware from the season which only seemed a sure thing a matter of weeks ago.

With regards to West Ham’s thriller with Leeds United, it was the Yorkshire outfit which ultimately progressed to the semi-finals of the FA Cup on penalties following a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium. As a result of the draw, Leeds will now take on Chelsea, while Manchester City will do battle with Southampton across April 25 and April 26.
