FA Cup quarter-final draw: Manchester City to host Liverpool as Arsenal head to Southampton | OneFootball

Manchester City and Liverpool headline the 2025-26 FA Cup quarter-finals with a meeting at the Etihad Stadium after their respective victories over Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fifth round.

Pep Guardiola’s men are still in all four competitions heading into the final stretch of the season, while Arne Slot’s side will turn to the FA Cup and Champions League as their best route to silverware after what has been a shambolic title defence.

Elsewhere, Arsenal will take on Southampton – the only Championship team left – for a place in the semi-finals.

Mikel Arteta’s men are looking to add to their record 14 FA Cup titles and were made to work against Mansfield Town last time out, where goals from Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze secured a 2-1 win.

Southampton, meanwhile, saw off the threat of Fulham and will now need to rise to the occasion against Premier League opponents once again.

After surviving a huge scare to eliminate Wrexham, Chelsea have been handed arguably the most favourable tie they could have asked for as they welcome League One Port Vale to Stamford Bridge.

Port Vale are into the FA Cup last eight for the first time since the 1953-54 campaign after their 1-0 triumph over Sunderland.

West Ham and Brentford wrap up the FA Cup fifth round with a clash at the London Stadium, and the winner will lock horns with Leeds United after the Whites made light work of Norwich City, claiming a routine 3-0 triumph

The FA Cup quarter-final ties will be played on the weekend of April 4/5.
