JAMES SHARPE: Darwin Nunez has always been Liverpool's "agent of chaos." Sent off on his Anfield debut. Tons of chances and tons of bizarre misses. Nunez has always made stuff happen. You were only ever certain what strange shape those things might have taken. The frightening thought was how devastating he'd be if he clicked. It seems that now he has. It's been ten goals in his 15 games since Boxing Day for Liverpool, ahead of their FA Cup match against United.

Blank Gameweek 29 is concerned that the FA Cup fifth round cooked up a disaster for Fantasy Premier League managers as far as Blank Gameweek 29 is concerned, with just four matches scheduled to begin this weekend. Wolves, Liverpool, Man United, and Chelsea all confirmed their place in the quarter-finals of the competition on Wednesday night following Man City's 6-2 victory over Luton and Newcastle's narrow victory on penalties against Blackburn on Tuesday. As a result, only four Premier League matches will be scheduled during the FA Cup quarter-final weekend in March: Burnley vs. Brentford; Fulham vs. Tottenham; and West Ham vs. Aston Villa are among the FA Cup quarterfinals on March.

Both former Aston Villa stars were present in action as Grealish's Man City cruised to a 6-2 victory over Luton Town, guaranteeing their place in the FA Cup quarterfinals. Despite City's elating victory, Grealish's first-half was a rough night for them because of an injury.

Manchester United midfielder Ross Barkley is apparently lining up a surprise transfer for the Luton Town midfielder after impressing new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe at Nice. Sir David Brailsford, the billionaire Ineos chief and the company's head of sport, has signed the former England international, 30, for the French club at the start of the 2022-23 season. Barkley, a former Everton and Chelsea man, played for Nice for a long time before returning to the Premier League with the newly promoted Hatters in August.

Since referring to a volatile moment during his team's 1-1 draw with Liverpool earlier this season, Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer has revealed why he hates' VAR. Lockyer is now recovering after suffering a horrific cardiac arrest in the 59th minute of the Hatters' game against Bournemouth in December, which culminated in his heart stopping for almost three minutes.

SOUL OF SPORT: Welcome to the Soul of Sport. ANDY HOOPER travelled to Kenilworth Road to see Man United defeated Luton 2-1 in the latest episode of the series. With Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur all battling for Champions League football, Erik ten Hag's side was under pressure to gain all three points. Rasmus Hojlund scored twice inside the first ten minutes to put United firmly in cruise control, off a stumbling start to the game. However, Luton returned to Carlton Morris, who came to a cross before Andre Onana and headed home. After halftime, both teams squandered golden chances, with United missing several one-on-one opportunities and Ross Barkley nodding against the crossbar for the hosts in injury time, leaving the Red Devils barely victors. Our cameraman caught the best of the action pitchside...

Marcus Rashford of Manchester United came under fire for his 'pressing' against Luton Town on Sunday. Although Erik ten Hag's side left Kenilworth Road with all three points, Man United's narrow 2-1 victory, as well as some of the individual results, highlighted where Man United will have to improve if they want to close in on Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur. Rashford was seen trying to deny Luton's Ross Barkley in his attempt to advance up the pitch late in the game, at one particular moment.

Rob Edwards, the Luton boss, is angry that Manchester United midfielder Casemiro should have been suspended from the game at Kenilworth Road on Sunday. United won by 2-1 over the Premier League, but Casemiro was banned by boss Erik ten Hag at halftime, despite being in danger of being sent off. After catching Ross Barkley, the midfielder had already been booked for a challenge on Amari'i Bell and was obviously unluck to not receive a second yellow shortly afterwards.

NATHAN SALT AT KENILWORTH ROAD: Since nearly allowing a two-goal lead to fall away at Luton, Erik ten Hag has called on his Manchester United stars to become more clinical if they want to make the top four. Rasmus Hojlund scored twice in the first seven minutes to put United in control, but Luton took over after Carlton Morris made it 2-1. Both Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Bruno Fernandes all missed chances to kill the game, and if it wasn't for Ross Barkley's header in stoppage time, the game would have been two points down.

LUTON TOWN UNITED 1-2 MANCHESTER UNITED - IAN HERBERT AT KENILWORTH ROAD: The final act of a breathless, tumultuous night revealed more about Manchester United than the straightforward arithmetic of a fifth Premier League victory.

The 21-year-old gave United an almost instant lead, establishing a record for the youngest player to score in six consecutive appearances in competition.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Newcastle would have won this game with Ross Barkley. The Luton midfielder was fine, but it didn't appear that he made it look so effortless, it seemed as though it was a testimonial at times. He was the best player on the field, and if Bruno Guimaraes of Brazil dictated the match as Luton's former England star, the result would have been different. Newcastle led twice but lost control, and was fortunate to gain a point. Barkley, on the other hand, dominated the game and deserved to be on the winning team. Are we really sure he is a former England player?

JOE BERNSTEIN OF GOODISON PARK: Everton's search for a trophy will continue into a 30th year following Cauley Woodrow's injury-time winner for Luton. The natives weren't joking about this.

Since the Chelsea defender's 100th appearance in the top-flight, Thiago Silva has revealed that he'never imagined' playing in the Premier League. Silva, who appeared in the Blues' 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in December, reached his century mark for appearances in the Premier League despite being in his debut at 36 years old.
