The draw for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup is on the horizon, with fans waiting to see who their team will get pitted against.
Maidstone United have undoubtedly been the story of the competition so far, with George Elokobi’s side beating Championship promotion contenders Ipswich before falling at Coventry. The Sky Blues are now just one of three non-Premier League teams left in the FA Cup following their 5-0 thrashing of Maidstone on Monday.
Championship leaders Leicester are also still in the competition, after beating Bournemouth 1-0 in extra-time on Tuesday night, while Leeds are the other non-Premier League side in the draw ahead of their game against Chelsea on Wednesday.
They could be drawn against defending champions Manchester City, who smashed Luton 6-2 on Tuesday night thanks to five goals from Erling Haaland, or Newcastle, who came through on penalties against Blackburn. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United will be in the draw, but still need to win their fifth-round ties on Wednesday night to progress.
Here is everything you need to know about the FA Cup quarter-final draw.
