FA Cup quarter-final draw - - (February 19th 2017)

National League side Lincoln will face Arsenal or Sutton in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Lincoln have become the first non-league team in 103 years to reach the last eight, and Sunday evening's draw saw them handed a mouthwatering trip to the Emirates Stadium or an all-National League meeting with Sutton.

Arsenal play Sutton at Gander Green Lane on Monday evening.

Jose Mourinho will return to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host his Manchester United side, Middlesbrough will be at home to Huddersfield or Manchester City, and League One outfit Millwall go to Tottenham.

Lincoln shocked Burnley with a 1-0 victory at Turf Moor and the scorer of the winner, Sean Raggett, will be particularly pleased with the draw given he is an Arsenal supporter.

"It's a win-win," Lincoln manager Danny Cowley said on BT Sport. "We wish Sutton all the best tomorrow, I genuinely hope they can do it."

FA Cup holders Manchester United, meanwhile, are tasked with halting Premier League leaders Chelsea's charge towards winning the double. United were beaten 4-0 by Mourinho's former side when the teams last met in the league in October.

Tottenham's London derby against Millwall, who knocked out Premier League champions Leicester in the fifth round, will be the last FA Cup match at White Hart Lane before Spurs move out of their current ground at the end of the season.

They will be wary of Millwall, who have form for making the latter stages of the tournament, after losing to Manchester United in the 2004 final, before making a surprise run to the semi-finals in 2013.

Boro must await the winner of Manchester City and Huddersfield, who shared a goalless draw on Saturday and face a replay. The quarter-final ties will be played over the long weekend of March 10-13.

----------------------------------------------------------------

It is the end of the road for either Chelsea or Manchester United after they were drawn together in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The game will take place at Stamford Bridge and United have been eased to 6/1 to lift the trophy as Jose Mourinho heads back to his old club with the holders.

Chelsea have also been pushed out slightly from to 7/2 as Manchester City's odds hardened (also 7/2) as they face a trip to Middlesbrough (20/1) if they can overcome Huddersfield (50/1) in a replay at the Etihad Stadium.

Tottenham swept past Fulham and Sky Bet have slashed their price to 7/2 with a home tie up next against Millwall while the latter can be backed at 50/1 as they seek another Premier League scalp.

Arsenal are the new favourites 11/4 ahead of Monday night's trip to Sutton United with Lincoln lying in wait for the winner.

The Imps are 80/1 in the outright betting with Sutton on offer at 500/1 to go all the way.
