Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United, have all learned their opponents going into the next round of the FA Cup.

As usual, Premier League clubs have dominated the competition, having knocked out low-tier counterparts from previous rounds of the tournament. Nevertheless, a few Championship clubs have defied the odds to join the English heavyweights in the next round of the competition.

All eyes are on defending champions Manchester City, who are eyeing another treble this season. It will be an all-Premier League affair as the two-time winners of the competition go head-to-head with Luton Town.

City weathered their long-running hoodoo at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to edge out Spurs 1-0 to qualify for the next round while Luton pulled a surprise at Goodison Park, knocking out Everton with a 2-1 away win.

Chelsea, who are in the Carabao Cup final, settled for a replay with Unai Emery's Aston Villa after a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge. The winner of the replay will take on the winner of Leeds United Vs Plymouth.

Liverpool edged out Championship side Norwich 4-2 at Anfield to book their ticket in the last 8. The Reds, who are eyeing a quadruple this season, will take on the winner between Watford and Southampton.

Antony scored his first goal for Manchester United as the Red Devils edged out Newport County with a 4-2 victory to reach the next round of the competition. They will take on the winner between Bristol City and Nottingham Forest for a place in the last 4.

Newcastle United will play either Blackburn or Wrexham while Leicester take on Bournemouth.

Maidstone will play the winner between Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry while it will be an all-Premier League affair between Wolves and Brighton in the last fixture.
