FA Cup matches & results 2021-22: Watch every draw & highlight on the road to Wembley

Give 1 Sec To Rate This Article post

The English FA Cup, football’s oldest knockout competition in the world, turns 150 years in 2021-22 and there are only two teams left in the running to hoist the prestigious trophy on May 14 in London’s Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool advanced to their first final 10 years and will face to returning finalists Chelsea, marking the second cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea this season.

The final will be played on May 14 at Wembley Stadium in London. It falls on the weekend before the end of the Premier League season.

Fans are always eager to see a Cinderella run in this competition, but it won’t be happening this season. The last time a club from outside the top division won the competition was West Ham (1979-80), and the last time a team from a lower division made the final was Cardiff City in 2007-08.

In case of a draw after 90 minutes, extra time and penalty kicks will be used to determine a winner the rest of the way. With the match calendar congested by league postponements due to COVID-19, traditional FA Cup replays (rematches) in the 3rd and 4th rounds were scrapped this season by the English Football Association.

The complete schedule, results and highlights for the entire 2021-22 competition follows below.
