FA CUP QUARTER-FINAL DRAW

Lincoln City will play Sutton or Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals as reward for their stunning fifth-round victory over Burnley. The fifth-tier club became the first non-league team in 103 years to reach the last eight with the biggest shock of the competition so far on Saturday.

Holders Manchester United play Chelsea, and Millwall, who beat Premier League champions Leicester, play Tottenham. Middlesbrough face Manchester City or Huddersfield, who drew 0-0 on Saturday.

"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."

Sutton, who are the lowest-ranked team still left in the cup, play at home to the Gunners in a 19:55 GMT kick-off on Monday that will be live on BBC One.

The replay between Manchester City and Huddersfield is provisionally set for Tuesday, 28 February at Etihad Stadium.

Full FA Cup quarter-final draw:

Chelsea v Manchester United
Middlesbrough v Huddersfield/Manchester City
Tottenham v Millwall
Sutton/Arsenal v Lincoln

Sutton's reserve keeper. Let's hope my Royals aren't thinking of signing him as our much needed new striker :lol:

FA Cup: Lincoln City boss Danny Cowley's rise in stats as Imps prepare for Arsenal

Top of the league, an FA Cup quarter-final and a trip to Premier League giants Arsenal - not bad for your first season in full-time management.

Last season, Danny Cowley was a PE teacher and the part-time manager of Braintree Town.

This weekend, with his Lincoln City side sitting comfortably at the top of the National League, the 38-year-old continues a remarkable burgeoning managerial career by leading his team out in the last eight of the FA Cup against Arsene Wenger's 12-time winners Arsenal.

Awwww shucks :)

Thanks for organising this, mate - it's been great fun !
Normally I couldn't give a toss about the cup - especially as none of our players do - but this year's been totally different :D
