Prospect United v Boulevard Blazers

Tired legs could be a factor in this quarter-final clash with Boulevard having played 120 minutes of intense football only three days prior to this match.

They left it all on the pitch against PHC in their Friendship Trophy defeat (3-2) and will need to draw on their reserves if they are to march into the last four.

Skipper Ajani Gibbons was in awesome form in midweek and may have a slightly easier day tomorrow, while striker Dion Stovell could find some sort of goalscoring touch to assist Angelo Simmons up front.

Prospect won't be a side to shy away from the temptation of claiming a big scalp on their way to the next round of the FA.

Having had a fairly straightforward road to the quarters, knocking out Commercial side Lobster Pot and First Divison rivals Ireland Rangers, the men from Police Field will be hoping to win this match and send a clear message to the remaining sides to not take them lightly.

Prediction: Boulevard 3-1

Somerset Eagles v

Southampton Rangers

The West End derby will be one of the more intriguing match-ups of the weekend with Eagles in supreme form on top of the First Division and looking a shoo-in for promotion.

Rangers are coming off an encouraging victory over North Village to book their place in the Friendship Trophy final, and will be looking to continue their winning ways.

But depth in their squad will be tested, after having had just three days rest before tomorrow's clash.

Kenny Thompson will have his side ready for this game and with a spot in the semi-finals being awarded to the winners, don't expect a friendly encounter.

Prediction: Rangers 2-1

North Village v Dandy Town

North Village will have to bounce back quickly from their shock defeat to Southampton Rangers in midweek if they are to be competitive in this match.

The Rams hit some sort of form in recent weeks but their woeful finishing in the last two games has left coach Shaun Goater looking for his players to be more ruthless in front of goal.

Ralph Bean jr will need to be at his best if this is to be their day with the likes of Jared Peniston and Kofi Dill also needing to be on top form.

Dill, especially, will be put to the test against the Island's most dangerous striker in Raymond Beach.

The break from play would have been a blessing to Town, who have a few niggling injuries to key players.

A revelation this year has been the emergence of youngster Nahki Wells, who has lit a blazing trail in helping the side to remain in contention for all remaining silverware.

Prediction: Village 3-2

PHC Zebras v Devonshire Colts

PHC will look to continue the form that has seen them reach the final of the Friendship Trophy at the expense of Boulevard.

The defending FA and League champions have what looks to be a clear route to the semi-final, considering their opponents have won only one game in all competitions.

Colts defeated Robin Hood in the last round to notch their first victory of the season but will be need to be at their best and hope Zebras don't show up.

Rested during the break should have helped revive a few Colts players but against opposition like PHC, they face tall order.

Prediction: Zebras 2-0
