Southampton vs Arsenal LIVE
Arsenal are out of the FA Cup after losing to Championship side Southampton in the quarter-final. The Gunners came into the game still smarting from defeat in the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City last time out, a result that ended their hopes of an unprecedented quadruple.
Now, the best they can hope for is a Premier League and Champions League double after conceding a late goal to Shea Charles at St Mary’s on Saturday night. Viktor Gyokeres had made an immediate impact off the bench to equalise after Ross Stewart had broken the deadlock in the first half, but in truth, the Saints were well worth their win as they look ahead to a trip to Wembley Stadium later this month,
In the other quarter-finals, Chelsea thrashed Port Vale at Stamford Bridge while Liverpool were dumped out in convincing fashion by Man City. Leeds United travel to West Ham United on Sunday to determine the last FA Cup semi-finalist.Follow the game back below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Matt Verri!

Arsenal completely on top now. Dowman and Martinelli both go close to putting them in front. Arteta as animated as he's been all match - he knows this is there to be won without going to extra-time.
