According to the draw, Southampton F.C. will host Arsenal F.C., while Chelsea F.C. will take on lower-division side Port Vale F.C.. In another tie, West Ham United F.C. will battle Leeds United F.C. for a place in the semi-finals.
The standout match of the round will undoubtedly be the meeting between Manchester City and Liverpool. The two Premier League heavyweights have developed one of the fiercest rivalries in English football in recent years, and their encounter promises to deliver high-intensity action as both sides chase domestic silverware.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will be expected to dominate against Port Vale, although the FA Cup has historically produced major upsets that keep fans on the edge of their seats.
West Ham United and Leeds United will also be eager to book a spot in the semi-finals, with both clubs seeing the competition as a major chance to secure a trophy and European qualification.
The quarter-final matches are scheduled to be played over the weekend of April 4th and 5th, where the winners will move one step closer to lifting one of the most prestigious trophies in English football.
