Having concluded most of the matches in the fifth round of the FA Cup, the draws for the quarter-finals have been made, with Chelsea, Arsenal, and the likes finding out their opponents.
After beating Wrexham 4-2 in extra time and avoiding any upsets in the fifth round, Chelsea will face another non-Premier League side in Port Vale. Port Vale are the lowest-ranked side in the draws, currently bottom in League One, and Chelsea fans will hope their team avoids another upset once again.
Arsenal, who beat Mansfield Town 2-1 on the weekend to progress, will face former Premier League side Southampton in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Manchester City breezed past Newcastle United in a 3-1 win at St. James Park, but that win has now set them up with Liverpool, who also beat a Premier League side in the fifth round. Liverpool thrashed Wolves to progress and will need to beat Manchester City if they want to get to the semi-finals.
