Defending champion Manchester City has been drawn away to Newcastle United in the FA Cup quarterfinals, while Leicester City's reward for beating Birmingham City is a visit from Chelsea as third in the Premier League takes on fourth.
City would be aiming to win back-to-back FA Cup trophies for the first time in its history. On the other hand, Newcastle is into the last eight of the competition for the first time since 2006.
