Chelsea vs Man Utd
Chelsea will have home advantage in the quarter-final on March 11. This will be the second time Jose Mourinho has returned to Stamford Bridge as Man Utd manager. The previous time, the "Red Devils" lost to Chelsea with a score of 0-4.
On the early morning of February 19, Chelsea defeated Wolverhampton 2-0 in the FA Cup 5th round match at Molineux Stadium.
Although the game did not have much improvement, The Blues still opened the scoring in the 65th minute. And in the 89th minute, Willian crossed the ball conveniently for Pedro to head in a comfortable position. They scored the goal that sealed the 2-0 score of the match. Diego Costa's shot completely defeated the Wolverhampton goalkeeper in that situation. The brilliance of Costa and Pedro brought Chelsea to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this season.

On the same day, the "Red Devils" were behind early and had to wait until the end of the match to win 2-1 when visiting Blackburn.
Man Utd were certainly favourites to visit Ewood Park, despite not fielding their strongest starting XI. But they had to work hard to earn a narrow victory against a Blackburn side that are in danger of being relegated from the First Division after this season.

Tottenham "breathe easy" when meeting second division team Millwall
In the fifth round on February 19, Tottenham defeated host Fulham to enter the FA Cup quarter-finals.Tottenham entered the match with a desire to win to "wash their faces" after a surprising 0-1 loss at Gent in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16. And they only had to wait 16 minutes to open the scoring. Tottenham's first two goals came in the same scenario, with Kieran Trippier as the initiator, Christian Eriksen assisting for Kane to do the final work. When Fulham showed signs of a strong rise, it was Kane who added the decisive blow, ending the opponent's hopes after a delicate pass from Dele Alli.

In the last round, Millwall beat Leicester City with a score of 1-0.
Arsenal and Sutton United
Arsenal could have an easier time in the quarter-finals. The draw has non-league Lincoln City playing the winner of another non-league match, Sutton United, against Arsenal. The Gunners only need to beat Sutton on February 21 to reach the quarter-finals. If Sutton cause a major upset by beating Arsenal, the quarter-finals will feature a non-league match.
Lincoln City, the 5th tier of English football, created an earthquake when they won 1-0 right on the field of Burnley (ranked 12th in the Premier League), in the 5th round of the FA Cup. Sean Raggett was the one who helped Lincoln City create a shock when scoring a goal in the 89th minute of the match.
