The FA Cup quarter-final draw could confirm some major clashes as the fifth-round of the competition takes place over the weekend.

Premier League leaders Arsenal and their title rivals Manchester City are still involved in all four competitions this season, with Mikel Arteta’s side surviving a scare against Mansfield to win 2-1 on Saturday and keep those quadruple hopes alive.

They face City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley in a couple of weeks, with Pep Guardiola’s side hoping to match their rivals’ progress in the FA Cup as well.

City go to a Newcastle United side who are also battling on multiple fronts under Eddie Howe this season - with the Magpies determined to win a first FA Cup since 1955.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are through after gaining revenge on Wolves after their 2-1 defeat at Molineux in the Premier League, while Wrexham and their Hollywood owners will welcome Chelsea, having knocked out Nottingham Forest in the fifth round.
