Emirates FA Cup quarter finals draw, prize money

Last year’s runners-up, Chelsea, face Middlesbrough and Manchester City draw Southampton.

The FA Cup Quarter Finals draw was made on Thursday evening, while Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield is yet to take place.

Middlesbrough vs Chelsea at the Riverside Stadium is a replay of the 1997 Finals, and we can expect nothing short of a firecracker. Middlesbrough is riding high after defeating two Premier League giants in back-to-back rounds, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs. While Chelsea edged past Luton Town in the 5th round, the ownership debacle is affecting the team.

One of the two all-Premier League clashes is Crystal Palace vs Everton, which promises to be an exciting game. Both teams have potentially good young players and are placed in the bottom half of the premier league. The other Premier League clash is Southampton vs Manchester City.

Liverpool will either face Nottingham Forest or Huddersfield, whoever wins the encounter on Monday night.

The ties are set to take place on the weekend of 18th and 19th March, the same time as the Women’s FA Cup Quarter Finals. Only three teams are representing both men and women at this stage of the tournament – Chelsea, Manchester City, and Everton.

The winning team will grab prize money of 360,000 euros from the competition prize fund. The broadcasting details for the quarter-final ties will be revealed in a few days.
