One thing’s for sure, the south coast of England is gonna be represented in the semi-finals! We wouldn’t consider this a derby, but there was defo a bit of a rivalry starting to form when The Cherries were in the PL. Bournemouth beat Burnley in the last round to book their place in the quarter-finals, while The Saints knocked out Wolves and Arsenal – without conceding a goal!

City have won their last six matches against Everton, including the 3-1 victory at Goodison Park last month!
