Manchester City will take on Liverpool in the standout tie of the FA Cup quarter-final draw, while underdogs Port Vale will travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
City and Liverpool are set to clash in the competition for the first time since the 2021–22 semi-final at Wembley Stadium, where Liverpool secured a 3-2 victory with a brace from Sadio Mané.
