Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. While there City rivals will travel to Wales to face Championship side Swansea City.

Last time United travelled to the Molineux Stadium they won 5-0 in March 2012, only one of the players that started in that win for the away side could feature again, that player was David De Gea. Paul Pogba was on the bench.

After Swansea City’s second-half destruction of fellow Championship side Brentford they have been rewarded by being handed a draw against the current Premier League holders Manchester City. Swansea will need a bit of magic to beat City considering they haven’t won against them in their last 13 matches.

Elsewhere, Watford and Crystal Palace will contest in the second all-Premier League affair, Watford beat QPR 1-0 thanks to an Étienne Capoue goal. While Palace won 2-0 against Doncaster Rovers so both beat lower opposition. For whoever wins it will be the first time either have reached the Semi-Finals since the two met in 2016.

Finally lowest ranked Millwall host Chris Hughton’s Brighton & Hove Albion, the last time the two met was in March 2015 in the Championship when the game ended 0-0. Millwall beat AFC Wimbledon 1-0 in the last round while Brighton beat Derby County 2-1.

FA Cup round-up, eight teams took a step closer to Wembley

The Lions will be hoping they can perform another upset after already defeating Premier League opponents in Everton.

The full draw:

 

The matches will be played on the weekend of Saturday 16 March 2019.
