The players led by coach Mikel Arteta are aiming for a quadruple, just like Manchester City, but Pep Guardiola’s team will face a much tougher fifth round.

City knocked Newcastle out of the League Cup earlier this month, and the two teams will meet for the fifth time this season in the FA Cup Round of 16.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will have to travel to face the surprising Wrexham from the Second Division, who have already eliminated a Premier League team this season by defeating Nottingham Forest on penalties.

Liverpool, in turn, will play away against bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Round of 16 matches will be played between March 6 and 9.
