Middlesbrough Draw Chelsea In Headline Tie of Quarter-Finals of 2021-22 FA Cup

Middlesbrough will look to claim a second London scalp after drawing Chelsea at home in Quarter-Finals of 2021-22 FA Cup.

Having knocked out Tottenham Hotspur in the Fifth Round after extra-time, Middlesbrough will now look to claim a second London scalp after being drawn at home to Chelsea at the Riverside Stadium in the Quarter-Finals.

This clash on Teesside is also a repeat of the 1997 FA Cup Final which was won by Chelsea, who have won two other FA Cup meetings between the two teams since that showpiece event.

Liverpool who are appearing at this stage of the FA Cup for the first time under Jurgen Klopp will visit the winners of Nottingham Forest’s Fifth Round tie against Huddersfield, which is due to be played on Monday 8 March.

Manchester City will visit Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium in a difficult all Premier League tie, with both teams having already drawn their two previous meetings this season.

Southampton though have lost two of three previous FA Cup ties against Manchester City, of which their last meeting in this competition came in January 2007 in which City won 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Crystal Palace will host Everton at Selhurst Park in another all Premier League tie with their Quarter-Final already confirmed for Sunday 20 March, due to Frank Lampard’s Toffees playing a rearranged league game on Thursday 17 March against Newcastle United.

Quarter-Final Ties will be played between Friday 18 – Sunday 20 March 2022 with the winners earning £360,000 as well as place at Wembley Stadium in the Semi-Finals.

TV fixture selections will be confirmed in due course with ITV having first and fourth picks, whilst BBC will have second and third picks in this round.
