Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground in the quarterfinals , hours after Man City got a soft penalty and overcame a loud St. Mary’s to produce an eventual 4-1 win over Southampton.

Elsewhere, Chelsea rode a couple of solid goals to a win over Middlesbrough in the last eight, in doing so getting a London derby semifinal. Their opponent? Crystal Palace, who waltzed past Everton 4-0 in their quarterfinal at Selhurst Park.
