Did your team live up to expectations this weekend in their Premier League or FA Cup outing?
We've caught up with Sky Sports Now guest and former Arsenal and Leicester striker, Alan Smith, to grade each side based on their 90-minute performance over the weekend.
So how did your team fare? Did they get an 'A' or an 'F', or somewhere in between? Read on to see how each top-flight side has been ranked...
Bournemouth - A
It's three wins in a row now for the Cherries, so wonderful stuff from them. Manager Eddie Howe and his players are on 38 points now so they're all-but safe. For a newly-promoted team to do what they've done is great for the league.
Southampton - A
Southampton were worthy winners against a Stoke side that have had a good season and are full of entertaining players. Saints should have had a penalty when Jack Butland brought down Dusan Tadic and they were unlucky to have Sadio Mane sent off. Graziano Pelle will have welcomed his goals and Shane Long looked good getting in behind the Stoke defence.
Tottenham - A
Excellent. They had to absorb some pressure in the second half against Aston Villa at Villa Park, but the way Mauricio Pochettino approached the game was great. They bounced back from disappointing results against Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund in style. They were so quick and they've clearly got the bit firmly between their teeth.
Norwich - B+
This was a good point for Norwich against a very good team, even though Manchester City aren't firing on all cylinders. The clean sheet would have encouraged Canaries boss Alex Neil.
Aston Villa - C+
I don't want to kick a team while they're down. It was men against boys in the first half and when Harry Kane scored Spurs could have had plenty more. Villa couldn't cope with Spurs' pace and intensity but, to their credit, they kept going and should have found the net through Rudy Gestede and Joleon Lescott. Villa are virtually relegated so it's not easy for them, so at least they didn't give up and showed a bit of heart.
Swansea - C+
Swansea pegged Bournemouth back twice at the Vitality and for that reason they deserve a C+. They didn't give up which is good for a side who aren't completely out of the relegation mix - although I think they'll be fine. The manager's health problems haven't helped, and they'll be hoping for a couple of wins as soon as possible to take the doubt away.
Stoke - C
You would have expected more from Stoke, particularly because they were playing at home. Pelle struck twice in succession and, despite Marko Arnautovic pulling one back, Southampton were the better team. It wasn't Stoke's day.
Man City - D
Manchester City are lucky to get a D. For a team that still has an outside chance of winning the title there was no intensity, belief or urgency. It was almost as if they'd already given up on the title. They didn't cause many problems to Norwich's goal. Poor.
Watford - A+
Watford have struggled to score recently but Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney were back to their best at the Emirates. They were brilliant and the result was a reflection of the fantastic season they're having. Adlene Guedioura's goal was wonderful and capped off a great day for the club.
Everton - A
It was a very tight game at Goodison Park but they hung on and were better defensively where they haven't been in recent games. Romelu Lukaku was on the scoresheet with a pair of stunning goals and, by all accounts, the ground was rocking. It was a fantastic win.
West Ham - B+
West Ham will be gutted they allowed Manchester United back into the game but they'll be confident in progressing at Upton Park. Dimitri Payet's free-kick was nothing short of incredible, another stunning effort from a player vying for the Player of the Season award.
Crystal Palace - B
Palace will hope their FA Cup run can aid their Premier League form, as they've been struggling of late. They're in the semi-finals and that will bring back memories for Alan Pardew's playing days, that's for sure! Frazier Campbell scoring was a bonus too!
Manchester United - B
This certainly wasn't United's worst performance, they did quite well to come back from a goal behind. They've relied on Anthony Martial a lot this season and once again he delivered.
Reading - B-
Playing against Premier League opposition is not easy for Reading. They frustrated Crystal Palace for most of the match and couldn't quite hold out. The late red card was telling.
Arsenal - C
Arsenal weren't a threat, they were flat and they conceded too many chances and openings to a Watford team that struggled to score in the build-up to the game. That was down to Arsenal's shape. They've won the cup for the last two seasons so the fact they're out of it isn't the big problem, it was the manner of the defeat.
Chelsea - C
This was a big game for Chelsea. Diego Costa's ugly side reared itself once again - the theatrics didn't help as they failed to score and he was sent off. It's turned out to be a crippling week for them following their Champions League exit and it's going to be hard for Guus Hiddink to lift them for the rest of the season.
