The upcoming draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals could usher in some exciting matchups as the fifth round unfolds over the weekend.
Premier League leaders Arsenal and their title challengers Manchester City remain contenders in all four competitions this season. Mikel Arteta’s team avoided an upset against Mansfield, winning 2-1 on Saturday and keeping their quadruple hopes intact.
