\"\"Premier League leaders Manchester City will travel to Everton in the FA Cup quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s City, the competition favorites, reached the last eight with a 3-1 win at Swansea on Wednesday while the Toffees went through with a memorable 5-4 defeat of Tottenham after extra time.<\/p>\n

City, who have won their last 15 games in all competitions in a record-breaking run for an English top-flight side, are also due to face the Merseysiders in a rearranged Premier League game next week.<\/p>\n

It is a game in which there could be some needle after Guardiola criticized Everton\u2019s response to the postponing of their scheduled match in December when five City players tested positive for Covid-19.<\/p>\n

In another mouthwatering quarterfinal tie, Manchester United, currently second in the Premier League, were handed a trip to third-placed Leicester.<\/p>\n

The two sides fought out a 2-2 draw when they last met on St Stephen’s Day.<\/p>\n

Southampton\u2019s reward for their victory over Wolves on Thursday was an away trip along the south coast to Championship side Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

The final tie saw the winners of Thursday\u2019s late game between Barnsley and Chelsea drawn at home to Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

The ties are scheduled to take place over the weekend of March 20-21.<\/p>\n
