The FA Cup quarter-final draw has offered up some huge Premier League battles, with Arsenal heading to Sheffield United and Leicester City hosting Chelsea.

Holders Manchester City face a trip to Newcastle, while Norwich - who won a penalty shootout at Tottenham - face the prospect of a home tie with Manchester United after the Red Devils saw off Wayne Rooney and Derby on Thursday night.

  • Norwich vs Derby/Manchester United

  • Leicester City vs Chelsea

Man City's trip to St James' Park is perhaps the most favourable of the fixtures. The champions look to add more silverware to the Carabao Cup they won after beating Aston Villa, having secured their place in the last eight with a 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday.

Elsewhere, Leicester will welcome Chelsea to the King Power Stadium in an intriguing affair, arguably one both Brendan Rodgers and Frank Lampard would have liked to avoid.

Leicester overcame a stubborn Birmingham to reach the quarters, while Chelsea produced an outstanding display to knock out Liverpool.

Sheffield United and Arsenal – two teams competing for the Premier League top four – now take battle in another competition, the Blades hosting the Gunners in an impossible-to-pick cup tie.

The Blades were forced to extra-time against Reading, where a Billy Shard goal sent them through. Arsenal, on the other hand, had a more routine passage with a 2-0 win against Portsmouth.

Finally, Norwich will play either Derby or Manchester United – which will be decided on Thursday evening.
