Giant-killing Port Vale will travel to Stamford Bridge to meet Chelsea, and Manchester City and Liverpool will square off in the FA Cup quarter-final draw. Since the 2021–22 semi-finals, which Liverpool won 3–2 at Wembley Stadium with a brace from Sadio Mané, this will be the first time City and Liverpool have met in the competition.
Following their victory against Sunderland, Port Vale will take on Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea, who are still in the running for a ninth FA Cup championship following an exciting six-goal victory over Wrexham. The League One underdogs are in the FA Cup quarter-finals for the second time in their history, following 1953–54, and they will be looking to add another significant win to their record.
Southampton will play top-tier Arsenal at St Mary’s on the weekend of April 4-5. During the fifth round, Southampton also surprised their Premier League rivals in Fulham. In the quarterfinals, Daniel Farke’s Leeds United club will take on the winners of the London rivals West Ham and Brentford on Monday.

“Given that it was a hamstring injury, we need to be really, really careful,” he said to reporters. Before we reintroduce him, he simply has to clear a couple more marks.
Levi Colwill, who has missed the entire season due to a severe knee injury and is still unlikely to play this season, was one unexpected figure on display at Cobham on Tuesday. Rosenior stated at the end of February that “Levi is doing really, really well with his long-term rehab”.
Essugo remarked, “Of course, it is a very good feeling because it was a very tough moment” after his 55-minute appearance. “It’s a new experience at a new club, but I’m glad to be back.
“Estevao is back on the pitch, but he is not quite ready for this one,” Rosenior stated. We need to be cautious with him since he has a hamstring problem, but he only has to pass a few more milestones. His return to the organisation will be greatly beneficial.
