Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The FA Cup quarter-final draw threw up some blockbuster ties involving Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea andLiverpool.<\/p>\n<p>All four Premier League giants progressed to the last eight of the competition in relatively routine fashion over the weekend. <\/p>\n<p>Liverpool 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. <\/p>\n<p>Chelsea 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\u2019 Park. <\/p>\n<p>The reward for Pep Guaridola\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>Championship opposition awaits in the shape of Southampton who defeated top flight opposition in the shape of Fulham on Sunday. <\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\" data-ico=\"factbox_article\"
