The FA Cup quarter-final draw has set up an all-Premier League clash between Manchester City and Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea will host Port Vale, who earned their spot by defeating Sunderland in the previous round. Arsenal face a trip to Southampton, while Leeds United await the winner of the West Ham versus Brentford replay.

Port Vale, currently in League One, are the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition. This will be their first competitive meeting with Chelsea since 1929, making it a historic occasion for the Staffordshire club. The draw has avoided any all-Premier League ties except for the City-Liverpool matchup, ensuring a mix of giant killings and traditional powerhouses in the last eight.

The quarter-final fixtures will be played across the weekend of 4-5 April. With Manchester City and Liverpool both competing for the Premier League title, their FA Cup meeting adds another layer of intrigue to their ongoing rivalry. Meanwhile, Arsenal's trip to Southampton and Leeds' potential matchup against either West Ham or Brentford promise competitive encounters as the tournament reaches its business end.
