FA Cup quarter-final draw: Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United discover their opponents

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have been drawn away from home in the FA Cup quarter-final.

For the first time ever, fifth round ties took place across a midweek slot and the Gunners' reward for overcoming Portsmouth another game on the road as they face fellow Premier League outfit Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

When the two team met there earlier in the season, the Gunners - under Unai Emery - were beaten 1-0 and then drew the reverse meeting at the Emirates Stadium in January.

As for the Blues, they'll face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Both Premier League meetings this season have ended in draws, with Antonio Rudiger scoring twice in a four-goal thriller at the beginning of February.

Holders Manchester City beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 on Wednesday night thanks to a goal from Sergio Aguero and will face a Newcastle United side who were runners-up in 1998 and 1999.

The last quarter-final tie wasn't confirmed until Thursday night.

Manchester United took on Wayne Rooney's Derby County at Pride Park and were comfortable 3-0 winners thanks to a brace from January loan signing Odion Ighalo and Luke Shaw.

As a result the Red Devils will face Norwich City at Carrow Road after the Premier League's bottom side came from behind to beat Tottenham Hotspur on penalties with Tim Krul proving to be the hero as he saved from Troy Parrott and Gedson Fernandes.
