The draw for the quarter-final of the Emirates FA Cup was made on Wednesday evening, following the conclusion of fifth round ties.

The highlight of the FA Cup quarter-finals will be Manchester City welcoming Burnley to the Etihad in a dramatic reunion for the Clarets' head coach and former City captain Vincent Kompany. 

Burnley are currently top of the Championship and playing exciting expansive football to the delight of the supporters. There has been a clear shift from the days of Sean Dyche who favoured a more rigid and direct style of play.  

Burnley defeated Fleetwood Town 1-0 to advance to the FA Cup quarter-finals

Kompany will bring his side back to Manchester after they dug out a 1-0 win over Fleetwood Town to progress.

Elsewhere Manchester United host Fulham in what is expected to be another tasty cup tie. The Red Devils progressed thanks to a 3-1 comeback victory over a stubborn West Ham side.

Said Benrahma put the Hammers in front early in the second half on Wednesday night before a Nayef Aguerd own goal brought Erik ten Hag's men back into the game. 

Alejandro Garnacho scored in the 90th-minute before Fred rounded things off with almost the last kick of the game to send United through.
