The draw for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup has taken place, with Manchester City drawn at home to Liverpool in a blockbuster all-Premier League tie.

Quadruple contenders Arsenal have been given a favourable draw away to Southampton, the only Championship side left in the competition.

Meanwhile giant-killers Port Vale – the lowest-ranked side left – have earned an away day to Stamford Bridge and will be dreaming of another cupset after dispatching Sunderland this weekend.

The final last-eight encounter will see the winners of Brentford or West Ham as they face off later this evening, against fellow Premier League side Leeds United.

The quarter-final ties will be played over the weekend of 4 April.

Over the weekend Gunners escaped a scare against Mansfield to keep their quadruple hopes alive, while City eased past Newcastle to do the same and Liverpool avenged their loss to Wolves last week.

League One side Port Vale shocked Sunderland, Liam Rosenior’s side escaped their own scare against Wrexham and Saints saw off top-flight Fulham.
