The remaining 32 teams in the 2025/26 FA Cup will discover their fate in the fourth round when the draw is made by two former winners of the competition. Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole will decide the ties as a host of Premier League clubs aim to take another step towards this season's final. Liverpool legend Gerrard triumphed with Liverpool in 2001 and 2006, with Cole lifting the trophy as a Chelsea midfielder in 2007 and 2010.

He's [Salah] obviously really upset he's not playing, which I respect. A couple of lines about throwing people under the bus - wrong. [You] need to reverse a little bit away from that, to deal with that with the manager. This needs Virgil van Dijk to go, 'How are we sorting this out for the benefit of not the club, or the team, but the fans?'

Speaking to Ferdinand on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, Gerrard says a lack of personal connection between players was ultimately the group's downfall, and how those relationships are now very different now.

Few footballer players have ever struck a ball quite like former Liverpool duo Steven Gerrard and John Arne Riise Gerrard with his thunderous right foot, Riise with his cannon of a left. Both are remembered for iconic goals: Gerrard's stoppage-time rocket in the 2006 FA Cup final, and Riise's unstoppable free-kick against Manchester United in 2001. But after years of debate over who really had the hardest shot, the two Reds legends finally put it to the test and Riise came out on top.

Michael Owen was an incredible teenager. He holds the record for the most Premier League goals scored by a teenager, netting 40 in 79 matches.

Leicester City are in advanced talks to appoint Russell Martin as their new manager after sacking Ruud van Nistelrooy, indicating a strategic shift following their relegation.

Celtic are already confirmed as Scottish champions for the 55th time, Rangers can't finish anywhere but second. This Old Firm Derby means a little bit more.
