       Puskas Acedemia vs Sarnians
       It’s the second time in recent weeks that we travel to face
       Puskas, having recently had a 2-2 draw in which we could and
       maybe should have won.
       But cup quarter finals are strange places and so who knows quite
       what will happen! Ady Sanders starts in place of the injured
       Erriparri and Raffi Karrar starts up front ahead of Seb Minerva.

       Rael Nerrad vs Helsinki Hellhounds
       Overview
       What a way to get back into the swing of things after the winter
       hiatus. They don't come any bigger than this, the Hellhounds
       young squad will be fully tested against the current Division
       One league leaders who have lost just once all season in the
       league. This could be a cracker of a tie with the Hellhounds
       improving all the time and ready to test themselves against the
       very best.
       Team news
       Eagles is out injured and will be missing from the heart of the
       Nerrad defence. That is their only omission but a few players
       are looking at little jaded. Hellhounds report a fully available
       squad but again have a few jaded players who look in need of a
       rest.
       Form guide
       Helsinki Hellhounds WWWWWW (league form)
       Six out six in the league for Helsinki as they continue their
       impressive form. The team will be full of confidence leading
       into this game.
       Rael Nerrad WWWLDD (league form)
       After their loss against title rivals United in week 12, Nerrad
       have followed up with two draws against teams near the top of
       the table.
       Players to watch
       Oli Marcentos is the stand out player for Rael Nerrad. If
       Hellhounds are to make it through they'll have to keep him
       quiet. He's basically two players in one!
       The Hellhounds will look to newly trained up Shephard in
       midfield to give them a boost in all areas of the pitch. Will
       the newly anointed king of the Helsinki midfield live up to his
       billing?
       Manager's mouthful
       "The players really delivered in their last outing with a 4 nil
       rout of the league leaders Robbailie Escocia. We take on another
       league leader in the cup and its a heck of a game. Win this, and
       the cup is very much for the taking. We're still licking out
       wounds from going out to Pompey in the league cup and we want to
       make amends for that. We need to leave it all out on the pitch
       and ensure we get the right result."

       Manchester United
       A home tie v darlington in the cup and i expect a  much better
       performance from my players and being at home we are the favs
       and i expect us to play like we are and progress to the semi
       final if we do lose i will be under pressure again as we failed
       to win anything last season and will this season be the same
       hopefully not i will rotate my team so everyone gets minutes and
       hopefully we can progress

       Golden Eagles FC travel away to Kyushu Yakuza in what is sure to
       be a thrilling encounter in the EA Knockout Cup Quarter Finals.
       Eagles have had excellent form across the 2 cup competitions,
       have only lost once against Manchester United in the League Cup.
       Their previous Knockout cup game ended in a 6-3 victory away to
       Pompey Chimes and manager Dave Rosewell will be hoping his squad
       will display the same killer instinct here.
       The teams are evenly matched on paper, Yakuza do have a slight
       edge with home advantage, but it Eagles aren't a team that can
       be under-estimated. Both sides have some quality players, the
       home side have the solid Oda Nobunaga, with Leda Cygnus being
       their talisman and the front 2 of Caoimhin Og and Jack Groves
       have scored 34 goals between them.
       Meanwile Eagles' captain Artem Poltorak returns from suspension,
       midfield pair Rodrigo Desábato and Darío Bourrin are the heart
       and soul of the club, while Pavel Chernyshev and Jans Goisthalt
       are deadly up font.
       Eagles have a full squad to select from, while Yakuza are
       missing Hungarian D_Szoboslai. No team news has been forth
       coming from either side yet, no doubt both managers want to play
       their cards close to their chests.
       "This is a huge game for us and we have a great opportunity to
       reach our first semi-finals in OFMC. There is a lot riding on
       this game, we need to rise to the occasion and show everyone
       just what we are made of."
