FA CUP QF SCHEDULE: Man City confirm clash with Middlesbrough

Manchester City will face Middlesbrough in the quarter-finals of the 2016/17 FA Cup.

Five-time cup winners City advanced to the final eight with a convincing 5-2 victory over Championship side Huddersfield Town at the Etihad Stadium tonight to book their trip to the Riverside Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's men will meet Aitor Karanka's Boro on Teesside on March 11.

The two clubs have met once previously in the Premier League this season with Boro netting a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw at the Etihad.

Boro saluted 2-0 in their most recent FA Cup clash which came in the fourth round of the 2014/15 season.

The other quarter-final fixtures see Arsenal host non-league Lincoln City, Millwall make the short trip to Tottenham Hotspur and holders Manchester United away at Chelsea.
