With the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals for 2025-26 taking place this weekend, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and put four memorable quarter-finals from previous years under the microscope.
Big names, great goals and upsets all feature as we pour the essence of the Cup out for you to feast on to what your appetite for what's to come this weekend.
Here's four of the best...
Manchester United 1-2 Arsenal - 2015
It wasn't all that long ago but both sides fielded teams that are almost completely unrecognisable from the way they look now as Arsenal went in search of a then record-equalling 12th title.
Four years earlier Sir Alex Ferguson had embarrassed Arsene Wenger by fielding seven defenders and still comfortably winning 2-0 at Old Trafford but things looked a little different in Manchester since then.
Louis van Gaal was at the helm and the FA Cup was his only chance of finishing the season with some silverware, but it was the Gunners who scored first as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain weaved his way along the edge of the area before finding Nacho Monreal to apply the near-post finish.
That lead lasted just four minutes however, as then record-signing Angel Di Maria picked Wayne Rooney out in the box for the United skipper to head powerfully past Wojciech Szczesny.
But it was the familiar figure of Danny Welbeck who settled the tie, against the club and the manager who had sanctioned his sale in the summer, as he took the ball around David de Gea and slotted home.
It was Arsenal's first win at Old Trafford since 2006 and the Gunners went on to lift the trophy beating Aston Villa 4-0 in the Final.
Chelsea 3-3 Tottenham Hotspur & Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 (Replay) - 2007
Two games, nine goals but only one winner - Spurs did all they could to fend off a star-studded Chelsea entourage but just fell short in this memorable London derby clash.
Martin Jol's team actually took control of the tie as Dimitar Berbatov smashed the ball past Petr Cech in the opening five minutes to silence Stamford Bridge.
The Blues equalised when Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard combined well but fellow midfielder Michael Essien undid their good work by turning Aaron Lennon's cross into his own net to hand the visitors the advantage once more.
Hossam Ghaly then made it 3-1 before half time and Lennon should have extended the lead after the break but was instead denied emphatically by Cech before Jermaine Defoe made a mess of a free header.
And Chelsea made them pay as the ball fell to Lampard from a corner for his second of the game and substitute Salomon Kalou volleyed home the equaliser to force a replay five minutes from time.
Captain John Terry returned to sure up the Chelsea defence in the replay as both sides cancelled each other out in the first half.
But it was the £30m man Andriy Shevchenko that eventually broke the deadlock with a pinpoint left-footed strike right into the top corner of Paul Robinson's goal.
Just as the game neared the hour mark, Spurs found themselves two behind when Didier Drogba chested the ball into the path of Shaun Wright-Phillips and the England winger dispatched a beautiful volley.
Ricardo Carvalho brought down Berbatov and Robbie Keane fired home the penalty to give Spurs a lifeline but it wasn't enough as Jol was left to wonder how on earth his side weren't in the semi-finals.
Leicester City 1-2 Wycombe Wanderers - 2001
Lawrie Sanchez had won the FA Cup as a player with Wimbledon, scoring the goal that beat Liverpool in the 1988 Final.
Fast-forward 13 years and his Wycombe Wanderers team was bidding to become only the eighth outside the top two divisions ever to reach the semi-finals as the Premier League's Leicester City stood in their way at Filbert Street.
Defender Paul McCarthy headed past a stranded Simon Royce to give Sanchez's side a second-half lead and show promise that they could pull off a giant-killing.
Leicester were stunned, and wasted an almost immediate chance to hit back when Robbie Savage was unfortunate not to connect with Ade Akinbiyi's cross at the near post.
However the hosts did soon equalise as Muzzy Izzett found himself free in the box to fire his side level after 67 minutes.
But it was Roy Essandoh who wrote a new chapter in FA Cup folklore, having only just joined the Chairboys from the obscurity of the lower Scottish leagues and responding to a story on 'Teletext' about Wycombe's need for a striker.
Sanchez had to watch from the stands after his protest about an earlier penalty decision, as Essandoh head home a last-minute winner and set up a semi-final meeting with Liverpool.
Crystal Palace 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers & Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-4 Crystal Palace (Replay) - 1995
This tie was much more about the replay than the first game but despite being knocked out eventually, Wolves should retain some praise for not going down without a fight.
Iain Dowie's stay at Selhurst Park was a short one but it included the opening goal in this tie as he found himself completely unmarked in the six-yard box after as many minutes.
But Palace struggled to put the game to bed and Gordon Cowans eventually came up with an equaliser to force a replay at Molineux.
This time the Eagles were in no mood to mess around as Chris Armstrong broke the deadlock with an exquisite bicycle kick after 32 minutes.
That set off a chain reaction that saw David Kelly level things up at the other end before Dowie scored his second goal of the tie with beautiful volley on the swivel just two minutes later.
The visitors then assumed control of the game as Darren Pitcher sent another unstoppable volley into the top right corner just before the break.
Wolves sent men forward in numbers in the second half to try and claw their way back but the tie was settled with 20 minutes remaining and Armstrong glided into the box before lashing the ball into the Wolves net once again.
