Ahead of this weekend's quarter-final action, using our free football app - Independent Football Live - we generated key match facts for every FA Cup fixture...

Reading vs Crystal Palace - Friday 7.55pm

Crystal Palace have progressed on all three occasions they've met Reading in the FA Cup - in 1931 (after two replays), 1932 and 1953 (after a replay).

Reading have not kept a clean sheet in any of their six FA Cup matches against Crystal Palace.

The Royals have made the quarter-final of the FA Cup for the fifth time in their history, and fourth time since 2010. They made the semi-finals last season, losing out to Arsenal after extra-time.

Crystal Palace have won five of their last six away games in the FA Cup, including each of the last four.

The Royals are unbeaten in all nine of their home games in 2016 so far (all competitions - W5 D4).

Everton vs Chelsea - Saturday 5.30pm

Everton progressed the last time these sides met in the FA Cup, via penalties in a fourth round replay in 2011.

However, Chelsea have been successful in six of the nine FA Cup ties between the sides, including a 2-1 win in the 2009 final at Wembley.

Everton have scored exactly three goals in their last two home meetings with Chelsea, including a 3-1 win in the Premier League this season.

The Blues have progressed from their last four FA Cup quarter-final ties, going on to win the trophy on three of those occasions (2009, 2010, 2012).

Roberto Martinez's side have lost three of their last four home games in all competitions, including throwing away a two-goal against West Ham last weekend (2-3).

Arsenal vs Watford - Sunday 1.30pm

Arsene Wenger's side have won 15 consecutive rounds of the FA Cup. The post-war record is 16, which the Gunners hold (2002-2004).

Watford have won all three of their FA Cup games this season by a 1-0 scoreline.

The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 21 all-Premier League home FA Cup ties (W15 D6). Their last such defeat came against Leeds in 1997.

The Hornets have won their last two FA Cup quarter-final ties, but were beaten semi-finalists both times (2003 and 2007).

Arsenal haven't lost three home games in a row in all competitions since November 2002.

Manchester United vs West Ham United - Sunday 4pm

This is the ninth time these sides have been drawn in the FA Cup - the previous eight have alternated between West Ham progressing twice and Man United progressing twice.

The Red Devils have progressed the last two times they've faced West Ham in the FA Cup, meaning West Ham would go through if the sequence was to continue.

The Hammers are winless in their last nine trips to Old Trafford in all competitions (D1 L8), since Carlos Tevez's strike kept them in the Premier League on the final day of the 2006/07 season.

Manchester United have lost their last two FA Cup home games against fellow Premier League sides, both by a 2-1 scoreline (Swansea in 2014 and Arsenal in 2015).

Man United have won their last four home games in all competitions, netting 12 goals - the same amount they'd scored at Old Trafford in their previous 13 matches.
