The big guns kept apart in FA Cup quarter-final draw

There are two fifth round ties still to be played.

FOUR OF THE top Premier League’s top five were kept apart in Saturday’s draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals as Manchester United host Brighton, whilst Chelsea visit Leicester.

Tottenham Hotspur face a trip to Sheffield Wednesday or Swansea, who need a replay after Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Hillsborough, should Mauricio Pochettino’s men overcome third-tier Rochdale on Sunday.

Manchester City continue their quest for a historic quadruple of Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup with a fifth round trip to Wigan on Monday.

Should Pep Guardiola’s men avoid a repeat of the Latics’ shock 2013 FA Cup final victory, City will be at home to Southampton in the last eight.

The quarter-final ties will be played on the weekend of 16/17/18 March.

FA Cup quarter-final draw:

  • Manchester United v Brighton
  • Leicester City v Chelsea
  • Manchester City/Wigan Athletic v Southampton
  • Sheffield Wednesday/Swansea City v Rochdale/Tottenham

    He probably made those rumours up himself given that I haven’t heard him on radio, seen him on TV or any interviews in the papers for about week! If no one else will give you publicity, then thank heavens for YouTube eh James!
