FA CUP QUARTER-FINAL DRAW: Man City to host Chelsea, Liverpool head to Arsenal

The draw for the quarter-finals of the 2013/14 FA Cup has been made following the fourth round fixtures taking place on the weekend.

Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Stoke City on Sunday has setup a tantalising final 16 meeting with Manchester City who were runners-up last season after winning in 2011.

There was another mouthwatering clash to come out of the draw with Arsenal hosting Liverpool after their respective wins over Coventry City and AFC Bournemouth.

In other quarter-final match-ups, reigning champions Wigan Athletic head to Cardiff City, Sunderland will host Southampton, Swansea City will travel to Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion are at home to Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday meet Charlton Athletic.

Replays involving Sheffield United and Fulham, and Nottingham Forest and Preston North End, will decide the eighth fixture.
