Underway!
Liverpool and Southampton have just kicked off.
The Reds don’t have Arne Slot on the touchline tonight.
That’s because Slot picked up his third yellow card of the season on Saturday, which resulted in a suspension.
And he has to serve it in this game, so he’s in the stands while his assistant Sipke Hulshoff is in charge.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Brentford: Sandro Tonali
NEWCASTLE ARE ONE IN FRONT!
It’s Sandro Tonali with a rocket!
A cross comes into the Brentford box, they manage to clear but only as far as the Italian on the edge…
And he fires into the back of the net with a low-driven effort!
That’s Tonali’s first Toon goal since returning from his ban.
Newcastle 0-0 Brentford
The game is now underway at St. James’ Park.
Newcastle have named a very strong team and they’ll be confident of booking a place in the semi-finals.
But Brentford have been impressive this season, and will certainly provide a tough challenge for Eddie Howe’s side.
This will be the second time in the last five seasons that this fixture has occurred in the quarter-final.
The last meeting was in 2020-21, when the then Championship side Bees won 1-0 via a Josh Dasilva goal.
Arsenal 0-1 Crystal Palace
Jefferson Lerma clears off the line!
Arsenal are trying to hit back straight away and they’re putting plenty of pressure on Crystal Palace.
Jurrien Timber’s header looked goal-bound before Lerma managed to get behind it and clear for the visitors.
After that, Gabriel Jesus had a shot saved and Leandro Trossard fired over, in a few quickfire chances.
Andy Townsend live on talkSPORT: “The danger for Palace, when you score so early, is sitting in and not being very adventurous.”
