  "textContent": "Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City will all feature in the quarter finals of the FA Cup (Picture: Getty)\n\nThe FA Cup quarter-final draw threw up some blockbuster ties involving Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.\n\nAll four Premier League giants progressed to the last eight of the competition in relatively routine fashion over the weekend.\n\nLiverpool gained instant revenge on Wolves winning 3-1 at Molineux, just three after a damaging 2-1 defeat in the league, while Arsenal were made to sweat by League one Mansfield and has Eberechi Eze to thank for their eventual narrow victory.\n\nChelsea were pushed all the way by Wrexham before prevailing in extra time and City were forced to come from behind to beat Newcastle at St James’ Park.\n\nThe reward for Pep Guaridola’s quadruple chasers is a home ride against Liverpool who are likely to be ruing the luck given their record against City this season, allied to the fortuitous draws handed to Arsenal and Chelsea.\n\nMikel Arteta’s only major trophy as boss of the north London club came six years ago and he will fancy his chances of progressing even further this season in a competition the Gunners have won a record 14 times.\n\nChampionship opposition awaits in the shape of Southampton who defeated top flight opposition in the shape of Fulham on Sunday.\n\n##  Your football fix\n\n**Metro** 's Head of Sport James Goldman delivers punchy analysis, transfer talk and his take on the week's biggest stories direct to your inbox every week.\n\nSign up here, it's an open goal.\n\n##  FA Cup Quarter-Finals\n\n> @metrosportuk\n>\n> Arsenal could be the luckiest treble winners EVER 🫣 When you actually look at Arsenal’s draw across all competitions there’s genuinely a chance they could win multiple trophies, and without facing too many top teams. Could they become the luckiest treble winners of all time? #arsenal #premierleague #treble #mancity #footballnews\n>\n> ♬ original sound – Metro Sport – Metro Sport\n\nSouthampton vs Arsenal\n\nChelsea vs Port Vale\n\nManchester City vs Liverpool\n\nWest Ham or Brentford vs Leeds United\n\n_The ties will be played across the weekend of 4-5 April._\n\nStill, Arsenal could make the semi-finals without having to play a top flight club and Glenn Hoddle insists it cannot be ignored how fortunate the current Premier League leaders have been both at home and in Europe.\n\nHe told TNT Sport: ‘There’s an old saying that you do need the luck of the draw. That’s where luck does come into it.\n\n‘You make your own luck on the pitch but they’ve had an easier draw in most of the rounds and in Europe obviously as well.\n\n‘The pathway to that final is easier but nothing is easy at that level. You would prefer to have that rather than face City or Liverpool.\n\nEberechi Eze scored Arsenal’s winner against Mansfield in the last round (Source: http://www.alamy.com)\n\n‘If they had to play one of those two it would be really tough. Southampton will be a hell of game for them.\n\n‘Southampton are a good footballing side and they are going to have to play well whatever team they put out.\n\nFinally, Port Vale, who caused one of the biggest shocks of the competition so far this term by beating Sunderland, have been granted a money-spinning tie with a trip to Stamford Bridge.\n\nComment now Comments  Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source ",
