Five Pem clubs left have NEVER won trophy
An unlikely winner could get their hands on the FA Cup this year after many of the Premier League’s top clubs crashed out, writes JACK FIGG.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are all out by the fifth round with only Manchester United and Man City from the so-called “Big Six” remaining in the competition.
Cardiff City, Doncaster, Burnley, Plymouth, Exeter, Milwall and Preston make up the lower league underdogs in the next round.
Meanwhile Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Ipswich, Wolves, Fulham, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are also still in the mix.
Amazingly, five of the remaining Premier League teams – Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford, and Crystal Palace – have NEVER won a major trophy.
And Newcastle have been waiting 70 YEARS for silverware – last winning the FA Cup in 1955.
Forest are two-time European Cup winners but their last piece of silverware was the League Cup in 1990.
Southampton have been waiting nearly 50 years to lift a major trophy – winning the FA Cup in 1976.
Everton are also former winners but not since 1995 while Wolves lifted the League Cup in 1980.
Burnley won the Championship as recently as 2023 but had not had major silverware since their top-flight title win in 1960.
Doncaster, Plymouth, Exeter and Milwall are also without major trophies in their cabinets.
