FA Cup quarter-final draw: Chelsea face trip to giant-killers Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough will welcome Chelsea to the Riverside in the FA Cup quarter-finals after Thursday’s draw.

Tottenham and Manchester United have already felt the giant-killing wrath of Chris Wilder’s side and the Blues are next to try their luck.

Thomas Tuchel’s side are in the quarter-finals for the fifth time in six years having squeezed past Plymouth and Luton in the past two rounds.

Liverpool were also drawn against a Championship club in the quarters, with Nottingham Forest beating Huddersfield Town on Monday.

A 2-1 win over Norwich on Wednesday delivered the Reds to the last-eight, a stage which Jurgen Klopp has never reached in his time at Anfield.

Boreham Wood and Everton face off at Goodison Park on Thursday night, with the winner taking on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Manchester City travel to Southampton in the other quarter-final.

The ties will be played on the weekend of March 19.
