There was a break from the Premier League action this weekend as the FA Cup took centre stage. 2022 champions Liverpool were in action against Brighton and were shocked by their Premier League rivals as they lost 2-1 thanks to a first half goal from Lewis Dunk and a 92nd minute winner from Kaoru Mitoma.
Arsenal will also have been disappointed by their weekend’s antics after Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City knocked the 14 time Champions out of the competition. City defender Nathan Ake scored the only goal of the match to send the Blues through to the fifth round of the tournament and once again the Gunners fail to reach their 22nd FA Cup final.

Who are the current holders of the FA Cup?
Liverpool are the current holders of the FA Cup after they beat Chelsea on penalties at Wembley in the final in May 2022 after a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes and extra time. Current Premier League table toppers Arsenal have won the trophy more times than anyone in England having been victories on 14 occasions in the past, with the most recent coming in 2020.
The Gunners also hold the record for the most appearances in the final having made it there 21 times so far in their history. Their former boss Arsene Wegner has still to this day won it more times (seven) than anyone else.
Portsmouth have the longest gap between wins having waited 69 years to get their hands back on the trophy in 2008 after winning in 1939. The youngest ever finalist was 17-year-old Curtis Weston for Millwall in 2004.
