The eight matches will take place on the weekend of February 28 to March 3, spanning over four days and featuring 16 teams. Despite Liverpool's shock exit from the competition after 1-0 defeat by Plymouth, several top Premier League sides remain involved with Manchester City and Manchester United among the favourites to lift the trophy. The two clubs have met in the last two finals and will surely be looking to make it three on the bounce in May. Reigning champions United will host Fulham in an all-Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Sunday March 2. The game will be live on the BBC at 4. 30pm, with Newcastle vs Brighton shown on ITV in the other game on that day. FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28 Aston Villa v.
