Three teams have confirmed their place in the FA Cup semi-final draw, with Tottenham, Manchester United and Southampton all through to the last four of the competition.

A Christian Eriksen-inspired performance downed Swansea 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium to keep Spurs' hopes of finally winning a trophy alive.

Suffering similar Champions League heartache to Spurs, Manchester United’s FA Cup campaign has also taken on extra weight and they bounced back from defeat against Sevilla with a win over Chris Hughton's Brighton 2-0 - albeit in a rather unconvincing manner.

Wigan's cup dreams ended on Sunday as the Latics - who beat Manchester City in the previous round - fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Southampton, with Mark Hughes earning a vital win in his first game as Saints boss.

The last two Premier League champions round off the weekend, as Leicester City host champions Chelsea in today's afternoon kick off.
