Holders Manchester City will travel to Newcastle United in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The final game sees Norwich host either Manchester United or Derby, who play on Thursday.

Arsenal had become the first team in the hat when they beat League One Portsmouth on Monday, while Sheffield United progressed to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2014 with a 2-1 extra-time win at Reading.

Chelsea beat runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool 2-0 on Tuesday thanks to goals from Willian and Ross Barkley while Leicester edged out Championship side Birmingham 1-0 thanks to right-back Ricardo Pereira's late header.
